If you move to a mac platform (it's nicer, do it! do it!) then you can get VirtualPC and run whatever you want.

One of my staple tools is Basilisk II. It's an opensource 68K Macintosh emulator that supports up to OS 8.1. Useful for testing older browsers 4.x IE/NS and iCab.

Sadly, there's no PPC Mac emulator for the PC yet. Another staple tool I use is VMware. It's a tad expensive but cheaper than having multiple computers.

Has anyone here actually used one of these programs before? Do they do Mac rendering at all? That's the only major advantage I can think of, since there aren't many people around here that use Macs. I'll have to look into that. With PC browsers it's easy to just install a few different versions on your own machine, and for screen resolutions you can type the following into your browser's location bar:

javascript:resizeTo(800,600);

Of course, substitute 800 and 600 for whatever size you want it to be. Oh, and it's important for the "t" in "To" to be upper case. It's not exactly the same as it would be if you changed your resolution but close enough for testing purposes most of the time.

Like Jack said, you can post your site in the critique section and request a browser check. Most members here have several different browsers for testing and can check for a vast array of things.

anybrowser.com may be of some use.

Yeah, but the best thing is to do is configure different comps (I know that's a $$$ solution).

Or you can upload the site and post it in the Critique Section and ask for feedback. But you can also ask friends/collegues for feedback ofcourse.

"Browserola" is another. Don't know the link offhand but should be easily searchable.

there is a program called browsersizer, it allows you to see what your site looks like in different sizes (isn't 100%) but can just as easy to change screen size. I'll try dig up the link
The only other site I know of for what you want is to test on text based browsers.
Sorry I'm no help lol
