Check Top Internet Browsers For Site Compatibility
By Debbie Campbell

I always test my sites in the latest crop of browsers - FF, IE, Safari (Mac and Win), Opera. I'm still supporting IE6, unfortunately, but once IE8 comes out I may put a stop to that.

Mostly I don't find it too horrible; a few conditional comments usually take care of whatever issues pop up.

I was invited into a [url=\"http://www.fundable.com/\"]Fundable[/url] group for an annual [url=\"http://www.browsercam.com/Default2.aspx\"]Browsercam[/url] account and just got word that I was one of the last two that made it in.

I find Browsercam to be really convenient for Mac testing since I don't, at this point, own a Mac. (When my Dell laptop finally dies, it will be replaced with a Mac).

I know there are some pretty good free browser testing sites out there now, but when I only have to pay $25 as part of a large group and I get remote access to live machines, I can't really pass that by.

Here are a few of the free browser testing URL's:

• [url=\"http://browsershots.org/\"]http://browsershots.org/[/url]

• [url=\"http://litmusapp.com/pricing\"]http://litmusapp.com/pricing[/url] (50 tests per month are free but you only get to use two browsers of the 23 available)

[url=\"http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/10/02/browser-tests-services-and-compatibility-test-suites/\"]More info on cross browser testing from Smashing Magazine[/url].

Speaking of [url=\"http://www.fundable.com/\"]Fundable[/url], that's a pretty neat site in itself. You can set up a webpage to collect funding for anything, from trips to medical bills to group purchases like our Browsercam page.
