Cross Browser Testing – Microsoft to the rescue?
Posted by Sam Clarke on Thursday Mar 26, 2009 Under Development, Internet, Toasted Digital, browsersWithout doubt, one of the most annoying parts of web design is making sure your website looks as nice in one browser as it does in another, and as all developers know, this takes time. It specifically takes a lot more time when having to test in IE6, which has no real accessible way to do so without using other or virtual machines.
So in comes the rather overwhelmingly named “Expression Web SuperPreview” from Microsoft. A stand-alone visual debugging tool, which lets you flick between and even onion-skin different versions of Internet Explorer. With the full release there’s promise of inclusion of other browsers you’ve installed locally such as Firefox and Safari, creating potentially a great cross browser testing tool.
You can download the preview version by clicking here.
The full version will be bundled with Expression Web 3 later on in the year, here’s hoping it delivers and helps ease that cross browser headache…
