To make sure your website looks like intended on all browsers its often not enough to just make sure your code validates with the w3c standards. To be 100% sure the site looks good on all browsers one should actually display the site in all browsers.

Looking for a way to check one of my sites on different browsers I found browsershots.org the site makes screen shots of your website using different browsers. The process takes quite long, but you can just submit your request and come back later to check the results.

Yeah probably they have some kind of technical problem right now (check the queue of the site)

Anyway it is still a beta, you can't expect too much Smiley

yes, you are probably right. I requested one yesterday night and the first screenshot showed up after about an hour, the others where online in the morning.

I still wait for mine and actually they timed out.

Hope they will make the service better in the future, as it is really something that we can use Smiley

When I tried them out a few months ago they had a reasonable turnaround. It was quite good for checking websites on platforms I don't have. I guess that the turnaround has got worse as they've become better known.

There are other companies that provide this service, but browsershots.org is the only one I know of that provides it for free.

And with a free download of VMWare Server from http://www.vmware.com/download/server/ you can install Linux in a virtual machine for cross-platform checking as well.

That's really easy with Ubuntu.

Code:
apt-get install mysql mysqladmin php5 apache2

I am not sure if I wrote them all, but it is that hard Smiley

If you don?t frequent browsershots.org you should be aware that they have released two new and very useful features.
First, you can purchase priority processing so that your screenshots are processed much faster.
In addition, the source code is now available for download. If you are interested in configuring your own Browsershots environment locally, I?d highly suggest it if you are in the field of QA or HTML development.

It's good idea to use this tool. But, I think it's better to find UI issues by manual testing. I'm not sure, this tool give us correct results.

It's a good idea to test your site with multiple versions of multiple browsers, particularly if you plan to do anything fancy with style sheets on your site. This doesn't mean that you have to support all browsers - However, when you are able to test your pages you can at least reduce the number of problems your pages have with the different browsers
there are online tools which help you to check your website with cross browsers issues
here are some websites which are accurate in performance on all versions of Firefox and IE
