OT: Browser Compatibility.

2005-08-05 Thread Jeff W
What does everyone use to test browser compatibility, visually? 

Short of having a number of PC's/Macs running numerous operating systems and 
different browsers or going by a text chart with different browsers and 
versions incompatibilities, is there another way? I built a nice dynamic 
tabbed menuing system that I want to make sure looks ok on older browsers. I 
have the usuals loaded up IE.6, Firefox, netscape 6.1, netscape 8. My 
validation check says theres incompatibilities with Netscape 6.0. which I 
don't have and I know alot of people also use AOL as well, outside of 
getting an AOL account, how do you go about testing those browsers?

Thanks.
Jeff

Although it doesn't cover stuff like AOL browsers and lacks in some areas (IE 5 
vs. IE 5.5), I'd suggest seeing if BrowserCam handles at least some of what 
you're looking for.

www.browsercam.com

You can take screenshots using a wide array of browsers and OSes, and they also 
offer a service where you can VNC into the machines themselves to actually 
_use_ the browsers on the different OSes (great to see how JavaScript, etc. 
runs).
