Is there a way to view JW as if you were using a MAC ?
I seem to remember a web site or even some software that allowed you to view websites as if you were using various other browsers or even a dreaded MAC
The purpose ?
Well if you are making a new website it is always nice to know what they will look like when viewed through other browsers and resoulutions etc (other than the one you are using) or even a MAC.
Thanks
Jabba

check out G4techtv.com
It works great with Firefox and opera from my experience the same as IE except it's much better to open windows with and IE has huge security holes in it.

The Mac OSX browser Safari is based on KHTML so I suppose it's safe to test the site with Konqueror? Just pop in a bootable Knoppix CD and use Konqueror

I think the best to do is to take mozilla.
Mozilla is the only browser that respect every web rules made by the W3C consortium.
If it works in mozilla (exept for mozilla specific css function. but it will be included in css 3) then it will work with every browsers.
Also, mozilla have a marvellous javascript console included that really help alot when doing website with javascript. The DOM inspector is so sweet too  .
Hope it helps

Hi jabba,
I'm using IE/Safari/Firefox/Mozilla on Mac OS X. Just drop me a line if you want screenshots/comments on how this site looks like on my end. So far it looks good. I havent had any problems viewing this on Firefox or Mozilla.

I still use IE because I love how it just loads up instantly. I'm waiting for a few more releases of FireFox before I go back to it.
Also Firefox didn't show my xanga effects properly while IE did.

Yup, same as Safari.
I am on OS X 10.3 right now running Safari browser. Everything looks good and no problems to report. Only when people link big ass images then I have to scroll sideways to read all the posts.
Thanks for asking.
I'll try to post up some screen shots later.
