    Hi all,

    I just wanted to get a general feel for how you guys test your web sites in the different browsers. I have seen sites that will show you images of how they look which are great but isn't there more to it than this?

    What about the sites functionality, how far should testing on roll overs,buttons,scripts go?

    How many or even better, which browsers do you test in?

    Thanks
    Steve

    We usually tests the websites and web applications in popular browsers like explorer, Firefox, safari and now in chrome too. some clients are particular about testing in mobile based browsers also.

    And always keep in your mind about, when implementing something make sure that it will work in all the browsers, and please refrain from using specific functionality of a particular browser.

    I usually test safari, firefox and ie6 then move up to ie7. I love browsershots to do rendering testing along with net renderer but most of my issues usually come from font overflows...

    We use to test the design of our web sites in Internet Explorer (plenty of versions, each with its own caprices), Opera, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Amaya (just for the fun of it) -- on both LCD and OSD monitors :)

    Thats given me something to think about. I have recently followed a tutorial to put together a collapsable javascript menu but that only works in IE.

    How can I find out which part isn't supported in FF?
