How can i test my webpage in different web browsers

Question

I am designing my webpage and testing it in my default browsers that is IE8 and firefox 3.0. how can i test it with lower version. Is there anything which i can use to test in all versions.

Iam having problem with height setting with different version of IE. for example my div height is 300px; when i view it in IE8 it looks okay, in IE6 is looks okay but it shows less space in IE7. How can i adjust that.

Any suggestion.

Answer 1

http://www.browsershots.org will deal with whether the layout is as you expect.

If you want to test functionality, then you'll find virtual machines to be your friend.

Answer 2

I trust this Microsoft Expression Web SuperPreview for Windows Internet Explorer

Answer 3

Try using an application called IETester: http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage

It's unstable and buggy as hell but you can quickly test your page in IE6, IE7 and IE8 and even IE5.5 so it's worth having it around.

You can use selenium for functional web application testing. It is a great tool..
