Are there any tools to allow for LIVE previews of pages in cross browser systems?

I cannot test links on a screenshot. NB I work with a Mac ...

Onblur event mistakenly fires in IE when parts of popup document are clicked

I have a bunch of small pop-up pages that are designed to self-close when they lose focus- i.e. the user clicks on the parent document.

Indeed clicking ANYWHERE inside the form causes this, or even when the user accidentall...
