Great for all designers, but especially helpful for those designing on Macs with no access to Windows browsers.

http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/

Quote:
IE NetRenderer allows you to check how a website is rendered by Internet Explorer 7, 6 or 5.5, as seen from a high speed datacenter located in Germany. Just type in a URL in the field above and try it out - it's free!
Another one is Browsershots: http://browsershots.org/
This one isn't immediate, your 'job' goes into a queue, but it really doesn't take that long. It does give you a big choice of the OS's and browser configurations such as screen resolution, flash, javascript, color depth, etc.

Quote:
Browsershots makes screenshots of your web design in different browsers.
It is a free open-source online service created by Johann C. Rocholl.
When you submit your web address, it will be added to the job queue.
A number of distributed computers will open your website in their browser.
Then they will make screenshots and upload them to the central server here.
Then there's BrowserCam. Not free, but you can get a free 24 hour Evaluation: http://www.browsercam.com/

Thanks for the link. Very nice to have even for those of us on Windows since we can only have one version of IE running at a time.

I've been using browser shots for some time now, but I hadn't heard of the first one, so thanks for that.

Oh, and I love the quote in your signature Diane

Thanks for the links. Searching for BrowserCam (reviews/info) I came across fundable.org, which is offering a one year subscription of the BrowserCam Service ($499 value) for $25 when 20 people sign up.

I thought that some people here might benefit from this offer.

I have used Browser Shots and I highly recommend it although it can take a while. I'm going to try out IE NetRenderer. Thanks for the links!

I find CSS Vista to be one of the most useful tools for building XHTML web sites. CSS Vista allows you to edit the CSS of a web page and preview it in FireFox and IE at the same time: http://litmusapp.com/cssvista/
