How to view a site as it renders on multiple browsers and multiple OSs?

Specifically Safari on OS-X

I'm looking for that site that shows you YOUR site in other browers and operating systems. I'm specifically looking for OSX-Safari viewing?

Thanks your help.

V,
The site is down. Is there another one. I remebmer a while back a site that would test your page on mutilple browsers and systems. Your link is still wrong. :) (http://www.webmasterworld.com/red.cgi?f=21&d=8304&url=http://www.danvine.com/icapture/)

But I get the point.

Thanks for your help,

Ryan

Sorry - was working fine when I posted the info on my lunch hour.... someone was saying elsewhere that google's not reachable from Utah right now - and while google works for me just fine, danvine isn't available - it's timing out for me.

That's the only site I ever knew of.... again, sorry!

That is also the only place I know for such a free service.

So I guess you have to live with downtimes, else, buy a real computer. :)

Download the knoppix linux [knoppix.com] on a cd, burn ISO image, boot using that cd, knoppix linux starts, default browser is Konqueror 3.2, which has most of the Safari code in it, since the apple engineers gave back their improvements to the KHTML project once they had safari working.

You are not installing linux on your pc when you run this, it runs in your ram, it's risk free.

The dan devine site goes down sometimes because I think he's running it at home off a Mac OS X server, and it's very popular, and graphic intensive, he's having bandwidth issues, give him a break until he can get some cash flow from his site going and try the knoppix for testing your stuff, it's easy and will give fairly comprable CSS rendering with some exceptions.

<plug>the icapture site is the best site I've seen this year for helping web developers, saves huge debugging time, if you are doing a for pay job and use his service, think about how much time it's saving you and give him some money</plug>

If you have a PC, you could try Knoppix, as mentioned above. It contains the Konqueror browser, on which Safari is based. You could also check out PearPC, a G3 emulator for Windows, and a copy of Mac OSX. That's what I use now and it's very handy. It's a bit slow... they say 1/40th the speed of your PC... but it's pretty new, so it will get better. It's a bit techie to setup, but I managed :-)
