I've done pages that use MapPAth and work fine from Safari but MapPath runs on the server so it shouldn't matter about the browser version.

Lets see some of the problematic code.

The map path comes from a querystring. I was wondering if safari deals with url encoding differently?

Are you talking about x = Server.MapPath(".")

Yep.
Sometimes it is hard coded somtimes the mappath is coming from a querystring. I am wondering if safari deals with url parameters differently
I rememebr that it deals with line breaks differently.

I'm not understanding why the browaser would make a difference. You use MapPath to generate a guestimated physical path on the server for a virtual path. If you wanted the path of the page you were currently executing then you should be able to just do something like:
Server.MapPath("./" & Server.RequestVariables("SCRIPT_NAME"))

As far as using Server.MapPath in conjunction with the Querystring...I'm not sure I see what the use is, unless you were calling it on a single passed querystring variable, in which case it should be folowing standard encoding (which is decoded by IIS before being placed into the Querystring collection).

Perhaps an example of what your doing would be helpful.
