Two Tribes - Browsershots - Collage
Dave Collins at SharewarePromotions has a recent blog post on Expression Web SuperPreview for Internet Explorer – “that allows you to see the URL of your choosing in IE6, 7 and 8.”
It reminded me of another tool we use for checking browser compatibility across multiple platforms and browsers called browsershots. The blurb from their site:
What is Browsershots?
Browsershots makes screenshots of your web design in different browsers. It is a free open-source online service created by Johann C. Rocholl. When you submit your web address, it will be added to the job queue. A number of distributed computers will open your website in their browser. Then they will make screenshots and upload them to the central server here.
They support Linux, Windows, Mac OS, BSD OSes with a very impressive list of 64 browsers (and versions of browsers) for a grand total of 90+ options.
We use browershots in our review process before launching a new site, and it has found some issue we would not have caught otherwise.
