Tests your website with different browsers. The easy way! June 3, 2009

Posted by Vincent in : Technology , trackback

I worked with web designer a long time and I used to be one myself and testing a site for all the browsers is a painful task.

Let me bring the good news. Hee, Hmm… Fellow web-designers, we now have new options!

An easy way to test your site is to use online services like BrowserShots, which generates screenshots for a web page in more than 80 versions of the most common browsers used in Windows, Linux, BSD and Mac. The process takes time and you may have to wait up to an hour to see the screenshots.

Adobe BrowserLab is a recently-launched service that has the advantage of generating screenshots almost instantaneously, but the number of browsers that are tested is smaller: Firefox 2.0 (XP, OS X), Firefox 3.0 (XP, OS X), IE6 (XP), IE7 (XP), Safari 3.0 (OS X). The service has an interesting “Onion Skin View”, which superimposes one screenshot over another to see the differences between the different renderings. BrowserLab is integrated with Dreamweaver CS4, but you don’t need to buy the software to use the online service.
