iPhone Browser simulator for Windows?

Question

Note: This is a question about simulating the Browser on the iPhone, not simulating the whole device. I know that iPhone-device simulation is not possible on Windows, as discussed at length here.

I have a web site that looks really weird when viewed on an iPhone - its some sort of CSS issue.

The same issue does not occur when I view the site in Safari for Windows (or any other Windows browser for that matter).

So, are there any good iPhone Browser simulators that run on windows? I.e. that render a site in the same way that the iPhone browser does.

Bonus points if there's some way of inspecting the CSS in detail, as with Chrome's 'inspect element' developer feature.

edit: for the curious, the rendering problem that I'm trying to solve is described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3884444/css-background-image-rendering-differently-on-iphone

Answer 1

I'll start off the answers:

Blackbaud labs have a free Abode Air powered iPhone browser sim here:

Unfortunately it doesn't reproduce my particular problem, so it must be rendering differently.

Answer 2

Try these. I tried this in chrome, and sites i visited loaded the non-iphone version. Maybe safari would be better.

UPDATE: After further research, looks like these really only limit the screen size, and dont use the iOS Safari rendering engine.

You can simulate the iPhone user agent in Safari 5 if you set up the Developers menu item in Preferences>Advanced. The webkit engine in Safari 5 is similar to iPhone's browser so most of the HTML 5 stuff works the same. As a bonus the Developer's tab allows you to debug JavaScript and some CSS (not so well supported).
