Browser testing your web design

An important part of web design and development is getting the pages to display nearly identically in all the major browsers (and minor ones too). These online services allow you to perform cross-browser and cross-OS compatibility tests.

Litmus (formerly SiteVista)
Definitely my favorite. Excellent interface and functionality. And unlike most others, Litmus offers full-length screenshots of the page(s) you’re testing. Sign up for the free account which lets you try on two browsers. You’ll like it.

IE NetRenderer
As a Mac developer, I often use this free German site to do quick tests in IE. Does not do full-length pages like Litmus does.
