Work experience

So, you’ve done another great (x)html template from psd? And here comes a headache.  IE7 does not render exactly as it was written in css. Old buggy IE… So how to test on all general browsers? How to test on IE6, IE7, Firefox Opera browsers using one PC? It’s not so comfortable to install all browsers, or use virtualization such as vmware.

So, there is one great free resource (and a few paid resources) to get browser screen shots. One of my favorite is browsershots.org. It’s free, until you can wait in a line a few minutes. But it get’s annoying to wait after small css fix and after waiting to find out that this fix didn’t worked.

So I’ve found a great solution: there is http://www.spoon.net who gives availability to run all major windows browsers from browser. Just install little plugin and go to http://www.spoon.net/Browsers/. Here you can run Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 7, and Internet Explorer 6,  Firefox 3.5, Firefox 3 and Firefox 2,  Safari 4, Safari 3, Chrome, Opera 10 and Opera 9 without installing them to your PC.

Oh, ant spoon.net gives app integration to other websites. Look, you can run Google Chrome from my blog ;)

(somehow it does not work from my blog. And I cannot find support contact. Well at least it works in their page :)
How all spoon stuff works you can read in their info page.

Wish you a painless css hacking!
