Several months ago Jay pointed to Browserlab, a very useful new service for Web developers from Adobe. Browserlab allows you to view a Web page in multiple versions of most of the latest browsers. Since cross browser testing is perhaps the most painful part of Web development, any service that aids in this task is very welcome. The service is now accepting new users, and is very cool.
The flash-based tool will render a page in recent versions of the most used browsers, and will let you view an image of the rendered page one at a time, side by side (2-up view) or my personal favorite, onion skin view, which stacks two images from two different browsers on top of each other and gives you a slider to adjust translucency back and forth so you can see just how horribly Internet Explorer renders your page elements relative to every other modern browser.
The service is currently free and I expect that I will be using it quite heavily.
At the time of writing, the supported browsers are:
- Firefox 2.0 - Windows XP - version 2.0.0.18
- Firefox 3.0 - Windows XP - version 3.0.4
- Internet Explorer 6.0 - Windows XP - version 6.0.3790.3959
- Internet Explorer 7.0 - Windows XP - version 7.0.5730
- Internet Explorer 8.0 - Windows XP - version 8.0.6001.18702
- Safari 3.0 - OS X - version 3.2.3
- Safari 4.0 - OS X - version 4.0.3
- Firefox 2.0 - OS X - version 2.0.0.18
- Firefox 3.0 - OS X - version 3.0.4
