FYI:

SuperPreview does not support “whatever the native browser supports, including Ajax and JavaScript”!

From the horse’s mouth:
“Layout changes triggered by asynchronous JavaScript or other Ajax content may not render in SuperPreview.”

…which renders (no pun intended) the tool useless for my project anyway…

How do i compare the web application page after login:?

We have verified the tool and have identified that Home page only can be tested. The reason is that You have to copy and paste the URL in the tool and compare the page.

Please let me the how do i proceed further?

Yeah, this was useful. I haven’t heard of SuperPreview up until I read this, actually. Great review and post, thanks.

Good idea. But does not work on Mac OS X.

Consider some of the older generation, like my mother, they have no idea about browsers, they are not necessarily to do – all they know is to click on this icon office and are on the Internet. They have no idea that IE7, IE8 and Firefox are more precisely how to update it because you have not taken effective measures still needed to ensure that your site displays correctly in all browsers. I can tell you now, because I’ve seen everything that the user simply navigate back and go elsewhere!

I take that back! IEtester is still good. My friend’s IE6 had some settings turned off. After restoring the defaults, it looked perfect! My bad…

I used to love IEtester, bit that was until an hour ago. Spent a lot of time making things look and work nicely in IE6 – looked great in IEtester, but then my mate showed me his computer (which has native IE6 installed), and it was a mess. The transparent PNGs which showed perfectly in IEtester were back to the old “grey” background in the real thing (yes, I use DD_belated.js which is awesome) and even the layout had issues in the real thing… Back to the old drawing board. Gonna try the IEcollection thing now. IEtester has let me down unfortunately. Boo!

Hey Jennifer, you can add IE6 to the browserlab list, along with Chrome. Just click on “All browsers” and load ‘em up. It has been very useful for me over the last month. I run WinXP on my MacBookPro but it’s so much easier to get the quick snapshot and see whether anything is out of whack in a layout.

The main note is that all of the Win versions say WinXP. I don’t know if they render differently in Vista of Win7 on the same browsers. But so far, the views available have proved correct when viewed under the actual browsers and OS.

Oh, I love this!
Previously, I had to call my friend up and ask him to check my website from IE6 as I’m running on IE7.
