I have a pc and use I.E and netscape. I have been informed and seen of a problem on a new site of mine that only shows up on a Mac. Is there a way i can simulate a Mac browser on the pc?

Ta,

You can burn a knoppix cd - this will let you use linux without installing it - and then you can just look at the page in Konqueror, this uses the same rendering engine (KHTML) as Safari. Will only help for the Safari browser, not the mac ie 5, of course.

Mac OS X for PC

You may want to download and install PearPC (Google it). It is slow, but does a great job.

Enjoy

The iCapture service will show you screenshots of your site on Safari. Unfortunately it's still tough to find out what your site will look like in IE on a Mac...without a Mac. ;)

Brilliant, That icapture thing look perfect although it's overloaded at the mo.

All it is is an HTML error where a picture which is cut in half is fine on pc but has a great big gap on mac. By using icapture i'll be able to fiddle around and see my results.

Cheers for all the help,
