Test Website in Mulitiple Browsers Without Installing Them
I just read a post over at BetaChurch.org that talks about a very helpful site called BrowserShots.org. You can input a URL and it will give you screenshots of what your site looks like on different browsers, resolutions, colors, etc. No more downloading and testing on a ton of different browsers!
For any of you who do any web work, this is priceless. It’s always frustrating to get something looking good in Firefox, only to find the IE rips it to pieces. Or that two little things work differently in Safari.
The only caveat to this is that other people can see your site in the screenshot queue (which usually isn’t that big of a deal, not to me at least).
I tried it out on our site for Amelia Church of Christ, and I found that Safari was center aligning text in two table header cells on our front page. Not a big deal, but I added a simple line to the CSS file, and now the site is even more consistent across browsers.
I’m a big fan of simple, helpful tools (especially free ones), and BrowserShots.org is great.
