Does anyone here have any experience with browser emulators such as
BrowserStack? http://www.browserstack.com/
If so, have you come across any significant differences between the
emulators and the real thing?

Hi Keith,
I haven't used BrowserStack, however I do rely on Responsinator for quick
testing -
http://responsinator.com/
It pulls in device resolutions for a myriad of devices, from handheld to
tablets. It's quick and free, great for testing as a design is assembled.
Sincerely,

I've been using BrowserStack for a while now. The way the tool works is
that you are actually using virtual machines, so it's not really emulation.
They give 30 minutes of trial usage away, so you can easily get a good
idea of how it works. I think I made 30 minutes last a few months.
Also,
Browserstack and other emulators help quite a bit in testing, and testing
on real devices is always advisable.
But here's a nifty tool I discovered which is really useful if you are just
playing around with breakpoint testing on your desktop browser.
In Firefox, the Web Developer Toolbar also gives an option that animates
the title with the width (and height, which is less useful) of the browser
- this can be useful for quick ballpark resize tests.

Ooooh, exciting!
I think the middle layout (768px xwidth 1020px) needs some love (the
right-hand box deforms pretty severely, and parts of the content of the
center top box are obscured due to non-resizing form controls), but
overall, nice work!
If you feel like it, I'd love to hear more about
Very cool--congratulations!
In addition to Dave's questions, I'd be curious to know (can't see it since
I don't have a login) how you handled directing people to databases that
have mobile versions. This is something I've been wondering about for our
site down the road and library sites in

How do you detect browser width, especially on the server-side?

Hi Dave!
Good point about the middle sizes. Trying to get content to look good at
every conceivable size is the really hard part of responsive design.
The site is based on Twitter Bootstraphttp://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/,
