Is there a site that allows me to see my web page in Mac's Safari and other
browsers?

Thanks,
Brett

any claims that a program or system can show you how your site will
appear in a particular browser are at best inaccurate and at worst
totally false and misleading.

Safari:

Be noted that they way a site looks in a browser does not mean it
behaves well. You cannot test any user interaction, like scaling
windows, use forms, scroll, click links, etcetera.

Get yourself a second-hand Mac for permanent testing. You may even like
it so much you'll switch over and keep the Wintel machine around for
testing purposes only.

Another option is to ask for a review in dedicated usenet and/or IRC
groups.

No, not at all.

The reason people ask about "browser emulators" is usually to determine if
their site "works" in a particular browser.

How can a browser "emulator" emulate all the bugs in a particular browser?
To do so it would have to *be* that browser.

If you want to see how your site works in mac's sarari then you have to go
round to your friends place and look at their mac running safari.

brucie is, in this case, completely correct.

Yeah... Opera pretends to be IE, and IE pretends to be a browser

Some of the browser test sites aren't emulation; they ARE actually the
requested browser, spitting out a screenshot of the results. Not
emulating, but the real thing. While a screenshot doesn't tell you if
your site will work, it will give you some indication whether it'll
render okay or not.

Where can I find more information on the technology that grabs a screenshot
automatically and displays it in the browser? Not specifically for a
browser shot but say if I want to send an email into Outlook and take a
screenshot of it, then display that online all automatically.

Thanks,
Brett

now you know what your site looks like for *one* browser thats not even
used by a human. what you really need is the billion people on line to
send you screencaps.

"ok everybody, now change the font 5% and send me another one"

> Not emulating, but the real thing.

i haven't found one yet that produces a screencap anything like my
browsers. even poor little plain text lynx doesn't look anything like my
version.

> While a screenshot doesn't tell you if your site will work,

if someone posted a screencap of their site and asked for people to test
if the site worked ok they would be laughed out of dodge after a good
tar and feathering.

but people are willing to accept a screencap if its their own site. odd
that.

> it will give you some indication whether it'll render okay or not.

in one browser not used by a human. great.

theres not much technology to it at all.

brucies basic automatic screen capture and upload for the budget conscience.

ingredients:

1 x print screen key
1 x image optimizer
1 x ftp program
1 x keystroke recorder/playback or macro editor.

method:

record with macro editor or keystroke recorder the keystrokes necessary
to:

1. cap the screen or window you want uploaded.
2. start image optimizer
3. paste image into image optimizer and optimize to a predetermined setting for what you're capping
4. save image into a directory
5. start ftp program
6. ftp program uploads image in the directory up to the server.

repeat as desired.

on the server send the image with cache settings for however long the
image is good for.

i use thousand of macros on my computer (using http://macroexpress.com/
) and setting up the above would be very simple, now that i have
weeeeee! i may even do it just for fun.
