Quick and dirty Cross Browser compliance...
Posted by

Even though all sites should be "standards compliant", the world of the web just doesn't work that way. Sometimes you need to quickly see if a layout or a form even works in Firefox, Safari, IE and others. You can install multiple versions, but that's a bit of overkill when you can use Spoon.

Spoon is an in-browser plugin to run multiple browses "sandboxed" on your local machine. There "real" versions of the programs, streamed to the plugin from their servers. Performance is easily good enough for functional testing, although Flash and Javascript support is dodgy. They have IE 6 / 7 / 8, Firefox 2 ,3 and 3.5, chrome, opera and Safari too.
While not exact enough to be considered true tests, Spoon can easily uncover CSS and HTML issues that may show up during development, without filling up your applications menu.
For quick and dirty cross browser tests, try Spoon.
