Tutorial Stop

Testing your web site in multiple browsers is a drag.  I typically test in Safari, Firefox, and the latest release of Internet Explorer.  However, I have found that I must also test the site in older versions of browsers as well.  This can prove difficult because I don’t have older browser versions installed on my computer(s). 

Adobe Browser Lab solves this problem by taking screen shots of how your page looks in multiple browsers, including older versions.  Adobe BrowserLab supports the following browsers:

• Firefox 2.0 – Windows XP
• Firefox 3.0 – Windows XP
• Firefox 3.5 – Windows XP
• Chrome 3.0 – Windows XP
• Internet Explorer 6.0 – Windows XP
• Internet Explorer 7.0 – Windows XP
• Internet Explorer 8.0 – Windows XP
• Safari 3.0 – Macintosh OS X
• Safari 4.0 – Macintosh OS X
• Firefox 2.0 – Macintosh OS X
• Firefox 3.0 – Macintosh OS X
• Firefox 3.5 – Macintosh OS X

BrowserLab also gives you the ability to view in “2-up” view and the very cool “Onion Skin View.”  Two-up view allows you to view a web page in two different browsers in a side-by-side layout.  Onion Skin View overlays the pages so that you can quickly spot any major layout problems.
