See what your web pages look like in different browsers

If you need to produce a web site that needs to cater for IE, especially IE6 and earlier, you need to test it for each version of IE, since each one of the blasted things behaves differently (and none of them correctly!).

This site, http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage, provides a tool that allows you to see what your web site will look like in each of the following versions of IE: 5.5, 6, 7 and 8b1


Some other sites that achieve a similar result are:


1) http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/


2) http://browsershots.org This site offers a very large range of browsers (not just IE) to test against. Great site!

3) I've also seen http://www.crossbrowsertesting.com/ which does something similar to browsershots. They do charge but it is quite affordable!
