While having several different machines would be ideal, a quick way I try to see if I'm on the right track with a layout is to test the url in the IE Netrender's web application:

Back when I had fewer machines and screens, I used to set Opera to show the exact window dimensions in its title-line, adjust window size on it to various "often used" sizes, and overlay the other browsers on that window for comparison.

So many individual browser settings that can cause such deviations, and one has to know and test them all if one wants to make sure one isn't fooled by ones own tools. Also so many ways to position elements in relation to each other, that it is easy to create situations where deviations are unavoidable. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
