Topic: Testing CSS changes... best way?

@paul...
but anyone can comment.. wink
How do you test 1.3? in the sense of it working in many browsers? other than installing many browsers?

Any info would help...
I ask because I have changed the way the viewtopic.php shows the post completely but want to be sure that it would look the same in the vast majority of browsers. It works fine in my IE and FF.... but maybe not everything.

Cheers

Re: Testing CSS changes... best way?

I install all the browsers I can, currently
IE6
Firefox 1.5
Mozilla 1.7 (this also duplicates pretty much what you would see in Firefox 1.0.x)
Opera 8.5
Opera 9 Beta

I also test in IE7 last of all as that involves replacing IE6 and then reinstalling it. You used to be able to run standalone versions of IE5 and IE5.5 but that got screwed by a recent IE security patch.

For Mac testing, if you don't know anybody who can test for you then sign up for a free trial at BrowserCam.

EDIT
There is also a free Safari tester here

Re: Testing CSS changes... best way?

Just a thought but what would be really useful is if we could establish a pool of testers using different browsers. It would certainly be useful for PunBB beta testing but it might also be useful for other people as well.
