Testing my website's appearance

I'm designing a website for some relatives and would like to know if
there's a program or something that will show what the web pages will
look like on a Mac or other operating systems. I've tested it using
Windows 98 and XP, IE 6 and 5, and Mozilla 1.4. I've also tested by
changing the screen resloutions and such things. I'm glad I did
because there were some things that needed fixing. But I want to see
how the website will look on a Mac but I don't know anyone who uses
one. None of the local schools, libraries, cafes, etc. have one. They
all use PCs.

Looks like something very useful, and works on certain pages
I tried, but when I enter my test page
http://home.tiscali.nl/~elizabeth/test-8.html
and the older version
http://home.tiscali.nl/~elizabeth/test-6.html
(absolute positioning inside absolute positioned element
gave me probs with Safari on another site), it came up with
just white space. Is that really what Safari users see??
At least something should be visible, I thought, as it works
on pc: IE6.0, NS7.1, Opera7.23.

Could anyone with a real Safari browser have a look for me?
Both on 'test-6' and on 'test-8'?

Thanks Bruce, but what is iCab, and how is the text mangled?

What you see is a real Safari browser. It is an automatic screenshot of
someone's browser.

<http://home.tiscali.nl/~elizabeth/test-8.html>
No white screen.

<http://home.tiscali.nl/~elizabeth/test-6.html>
No white screen either.

A possible explanation is that due to heavy traffic the browser did not
finish loading yet and iCapture displayed a blank screen. This is
described in the FAQ. If it happens, make another attempt later.

iCab is a macintosh webbrowser, after years and years still in beta.
It's support for even CSS-1 is far from complete. For that reason it
should not be taken seriously by developers.

Hello all. I have a family website that I have been maintaining for the past year and a half or so. It includes a photo album that has grown quite large.

Okay, I already made this post, but it kinda got lost. So anyway I need to figure out how to test if the user is able to connect to a specific website.

So I don't know if that was what you guys wanted me to do, but I don't think so, you guys are smarter than that. So, how can I test for connection to a website. -- View this...

Hi All, This is a bit off-topic but may be of interest to some people. I have just found a website that looks interesting. It lets companies register their products for beta testing, and testers specify what sort of products that they would like to test. Sort of a beta testing dating service - Membership is free. It look like it is just starting out, but is a promising concept.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
