...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.

I get that occasionally, and do write the webmaster of their problem. The
DMV has this issue, even though their site is Java.

I've even had the issue a few times while running IE7, where a site was
detecting IE strings and couldn't figure out what I had.

You don't understand. They wouldn't let me in, "You can't use this site unless you have MSIE" and they just gave me a link to get MS IE (as if I didn't know where to find it).

Heh - the Anti IE campaign.

It's a bit misguided don't you think? I personally don't care what browser other people use. I know what I like and it isn't IE :-)


So the Macintosh has a browser? Wow. Will wonders never cease. I didn't
know you could get on the internet using Apple Talk.

What's Apple Talk? I had Apple Talk with BeOS but I never used it, so I still have no idea what it is (something to do with printers isn't it?).
