People usually design a website or a blog for one specific browser,
and that is the browser they use to navigate. Should they load the site
on a different browser, however, it is probable that some unpleasant
surprises will appear.
Most of the new websites are based on Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), a
technique that allows developers to have more control over the look and
feel of the pages, making sure that the elements are consistent
throughout the site.
Unfortunately not all browsers interpret CSS commands on the same
way, creating discrepancies such as misaligned sidebars, overlapping
text and the like. The only way to solve the problem is to test your
website on the many different browsers that people might use to access
it.
Now, installing on your computer a version of every single browser
out there would be time consuming, to say the least. What if you could
find a service that takes screenshots of your site in different browsers
and report them back to you?
That is exactly what Browsershots.org
does. All you need to do is to type the URL of your site, select the
browsers you want to test and wait some minutes to see the screenshots.
The service includes all the versions of IE, Firefox, Safari and Opera
and you can even select different screen resolutions.
