open page with all browsers in one click?

it would save a lot of time

[merijnvw]

Hi, when I edit code a page on my computer I constantly need to check if it works on all normal browsers:
right click>open with IE,
''Firefox,
''Chrome,
''Opera,
''Safari.
I'm doing this all the time, is there an application, a shell extension or something else, which adds an extra option in the right-click menu like "open with all installed browsers"? It would save a lot of time for me.
thanks.

The trick is not to do that constantly :)

Honestly: code it all up in just one standards compliant browser (so dump IE, yes: the one your visitors use)
Once it works in one of those browsers, check it in the other standards compliant browsers: in 99% of the cases there's not one thing you need differently.
After that, your page is done (yes untested in IE, hold on).
Now you work around the bugs in in the different versions of IE using a conditional comment.

That way you only need one browser at a time and won't need to check it at every iteration in every browser.
As an added bonus: it helps you not go insane over the different versions of IE.

Thanks, yes I am mostly testing in Firefox. But I saw that my codes also don't work a lot in Chrome and Opera(these often have the same bugs for me), not only in IE. But you may be right that I could do all-browser checks less often.

But I could still use an open-with-all-browsers-at-once-thing...

In linux you could right-click on the link and select:
Open with ->
to pass the URL to a shell script that calls each browser.
Of course you'd need to write that script -- but it would
not be that difficult.

Dunno if that functionality exists in winderz.
