If you are using FF2 or 3 there is a useful addon called "Web Developer" which you should lookup. It also included a "resize" menu so you can resize the browser to whatever required resolution. (URL: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60)
Another addon mainly for accessibility is a Lynx style viewer addon for FF called 'RightLynx'. (URL: http://www.yellowpipe.com/yis/tools/lynx/rightlynx) I also downloaded the collection of IEs called "MultipleIEs". Which includes all IEs in standalone mode from v3.0 upto v7.0. (URL: http://multipleies.en.softonic.com) ---- In terms of testing: 1) Test site working in FF3 at native resolution (for me 1680 x 1050). 2) Validate HTML and CSS to ensure it's compliant. 3) Disable CSS to ensure site falls back effectively. 4) Test in IE7 and 6 at native res. 5) Resize to 1024x768 and then 800x600 to ensure site readable at these resolutions. 6) Check WAI with Cynthia, and view in RightLynx. 7) Check in another browser, such as Safari. The current "big three" being IE, FF and Safari currently have a 97.3% market share. You have to weigh up time taken vs accessibility but I feel that pretty much covers most eventualities. ---- Ta, ~Mx (: On Feb 6, 2009 2:12am, David McGlone <da...@dmcentral.net> wrote: > On Wednesday 04 February 2009 5:42:43 pm David Laakso wrote: > > > David McGlone wrote: > > > > It bugs me to no end when positioning something and it isn't exact in > > > > none of the browsers, some a little off, some way off. > > > > > > Forgot-- > > > > > > Code to compliant browsers, among them-- Opera, Firefox, Safari. and > > > SeaMonkey.
