Thread: How do you guys check if a site is compatible in most browsers?

You cannot have all the browsers on one PC so How do you guys check if a site is compatible in most browsers?

I'm using Check Browser Compatibility, Cross Platform Browser Test - Browsershots to test it. Though these are the browsers I have installed on my PC:
Firefox
Opera
Safari
Internet Explorer
Chrome

So if the site works in these major browsers, they should be in others..

I have a pc laptop and a mac osx desktop.

Desktop has Opera, Firefox, Safari, ie7 - through parrallels.

Laptop ie 6,ie 8,ie 7, chrome, firefox and safari.

I find there is no substitute for looking at the site within the browser and on a machine running the browser natively.

I know I'm lucky to have the option of each major browser on a native machine.

multiple ie copies running through Virtual PC.

I use virtual PC and the provided disk images for developers for IE6/7/8 on XP

And on the mac there is a bunch of them : Safari 4, Web Kit nighties, amino, Firefox, Opera

The best way I recommend is Check Browser Compatibility, Cross Platform Browser Test - Browsershots Most people use it. Very convenient and easy to use.

Yeah Browsershots and the like are good -

unfortunately you cannot easily test the shots whilst moving the window or examine some forms of dynamic content.

A good standby though agreed.

I usually use browsershots, but here is a good one for just IE. It's a little simple, but works fast: IE NetRenderer - Browser Compatibility Check -
