Re: [WSG] browser snapshot services?

thats true Jason
I've always wondered how people who use Browsercam can see errors which 
are "below" the browsercam shot (ie: scrolling downwards) and test 
interactive elements like flyout menus

Which one is it that you are currently using?

[WSG] browser snapshot services?

[Justin Thorp]

In my office we are currently using a browser snapshot service to take a 
look at what a web site in a variety of older browsers and computer 
configurations.  It is very convenient because in about 5 minutes I can 
get a good feel for what a web site looks like in just about every 
configuration of browser.

It is just the service that we are using now is not keeping it self up 
to date with all of the latest browsers and configurations.  I was 
wondering what people recommend or use for browser testing.

I'm advocating using CSS to the maximum within my department. A big part 
of that is being able to test the designs in as many browsers and 
computer configurations as possible; so this plays a big part.

Thanks,
Justin Thorp
