Developing webpages for safari on a windows machine

How do you do it?

[smithaa02]

How do you make sure your pages run correctly under safari, if you have windows? Is there an application you can download for windows that will let you see the web as safari does? Is there a webpage you can visit that will do this?

Buy a Mac ;) or visit iCapture [danvine.com].

Also, you can find a local copy shop or Internet cafe that rents time on a Mac. It doesn't take long to check through a list if you organize your job well up front. And, you can check for functionality as well as appearance -- a screenshot won't do that.

I agree with Tedster... plenty of i-cafes, libraries (the hip ones, not the old fuddy duddies), schools, etc have Macs... they may not all be running the latest Safari version though, and that's something you should note because old Safari versions have some weird behaviors, so you should check the browser version before saying "hmm, my site does *this* in all Safari browsers".

FYI, it's always been my experience that Opera behaves the most like Safari out of all the Windows browsers... I have a Mac and a PC, and 75% of the time, if there's an issue in Safari, I know I'll see it in Opera.

I bought a Mac Mini mainly for that purpose - for $500 it was worth it, when I saw how awful some of my sites looked in Safari, and could fix them up.

PearPC, all the way.

I keep an install of PearPC loaded up with Mac OSX handy for testing. No Mac required.

An old iMac goes for around £50 on ebay. A copy of panther (~£20) gets you a mostly up to date Safari as well - you wouldn't want to be testing in the latest anyway as it's less buggy :)
