cross browser website checking

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.

Ok great the tool looks really good (I think it takes so much time because there are human people making the screenshots) lol

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

as I said before they create them by human hehe...

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

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.

apt-get install mysql mysqladmin php5 apache2

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