...it is a bit pricey, but might be worth the trouble for
testing your site in different browsers without having to setup
virtual machines.

I believe Jenn had posted that link a while back (though nothing's wrong with posting it again). As I remember, they have an initial 24 hour free trial.



Hello Mara, LTNS

There is also http://www.snugtech.com/safaritest/ which will give you a screenshot of your site in safari for free.


There is also another community based one I found somewhere. You submit a URL and people submit their screenshots. It took time though, and I have lost the URL anyway =P

Ah that one I could do with, Mac testing is a bit of a hassle for me

This is the crazy thing. I went to site the other day with Safari on my mac and it told me I couldn't access their site without IE. So I fired up IE and went to the site (there is IE for macs but it's not as good as Safari) and it worked fine. Today I went back to the site but with safari spoofing the user agent as IE 6 and the site worked just fine. Why in the hell would some stupid web designer only design for IE and actually bar all others from entering? I can understand if they are just lazy and can't be bothered to design for other browsers, but to actually bar non-IE users is plain stupid.




Yes, I have seen it happen. I think the best explination for it is that some people are idiots.

IIRC for a while Microsoft would server a DIFFRENT broken version of their site to FF users. As in diffrent HTML was served out. (Don't hold me to this, but I think it was a few years back).

I think its funny that people block the people that are NOT using the broken browser that makes sites render incorectly.
