hmm, nobody wants to help or give away their secret strategies? or nobody does browser testing? Or do I smell?

Nor does it talk about different versions of MacOS. Do WSG members consider this sufficient testing strategy? I understand this is probably going to be very different from one organisation to another but there has to be a baseline at least! I'm keen to hear some opinions and get some good resources on this to hopefully get an idea of how far I need to take our testing strategy. Thanks in advance, Miles. ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ***************************************************** ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *****************************************************
