Testing a site against different browsers- Tool Needed - GoFuckYourself.com

Furious_Male · 03-11-2005, 12:26 PM

What tool do you guys recommend for testing a website in different browsers and resolutions.

Something that would emulate the most popular browsers and allow me to check designs for compatability.

thanks in advance.

there's no substitute for the real thing... get mozilla, firefox and IE and check them.

Yes I can do that but that doesn't help with the different versions. I am not about to download all the versions of each platform. There has to be something out there. I have been googling and see a bunch of shit thus far.

Ahh... yeah, that's true. But I think you'll drive yourself nuts trying to make it compatible for every browser in every version when really there's only 3 that take up around 97 or 98% of the marketplace.

I don't think there is anything that will do that. I was looking for something like that a long time ago. Actually started thinking of ways to create a service that would perform that. Enter a url, select a browser, version, and resolution and see how the page renders. Couldn't come up with a solid way to make it work. If you find anything, let me know.

You are probably right. I am downloading all the major browsers onto another machine now that I can use for testing etc.

If anyone else does know of a good tool though please let us know.

your best bet is just get firefox and IE, that covers most of the surfer's browsers
