They seem to be fairly accurate. I think that, generally speaking, it is better than using browsershots or browsercam, since those just give screenshots and can't test functionality. I use those for testing things I don't have access to (like Mac-specific or IE6 specific issues...even then, those are only so helpful and only address layout issues, not functionality). -- Janice Schwarz GeekArtist Web Solutions, LLC www.geekartist.com Phone: (214) 731-4733 Twitter: GeekArtist <http://twitter.com/geekartist> Facebook <http://www.facebook.com/GeekArtist> ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org *******************************************************************
