Hi Ted, Great info, thanks. Just out of interest you said that you looked at your site after someone commented that it did not look right in their browser. Did you do anything about it? What I mean is surely if you made it 'look right' in their browser it would look wrong in someone elses?....or can you ever get to a stage where you can actually please everybody?...anyway thanks again for the link much appreciated, regards Jim T.

Hi Jim,

I absolutely did - I ended up changing the theme entirely, and I'm glad I did.

But, thankfully, I had the luxury of wanting to overhaul my site, so I welcomed the change. Others who don't want to change their website, but see their site looks bad in certain browsers, don't have that option.

In that case, what I would do is change what I could without compromising the design, and cut my losses. Google can help you find common cross-browser website issues.

For example, I know IE6 is an older browser and has lots of problems with many websites, including major ones. So if my site looked bad on IE6, but looked great on the others, I would take that as an acceptable loss and just keep what I had.

To answer your question, you definitely can't please everybody - and that's true in life as well. If you were to please all browsers, your site would end up looking very bland and lackluster. Until the entire IT industry is able to agree on standards, especially with web programming, we are forced to account for the differences.

Thanks,
Ted

The tool is pretty awesome. It doesn't seem to support Safari though, which is unfortunate... I wish I knew about this tool 6 months ago. I was having a heck of a time trying to make sure things looked good on different browsers.

I hope it works with Safari. Over-all I've heard so much about it. I'm glad you shared it to all of us

I've been using this as well, thanks for sharing.
I did notice however that if you just want to test a few browsers you have to uncheck so many.
