Re: Browser testing

Hi Catherine,

Get Browserola! Browserola is the world's first and only "browser emulator";
It's a Windows program that enables Web authors to see how their pages look
in a variety of Web browsers without having to have those browsers
installed.

Too Cool!

That's more complicated. AOL 2.5 and older 3.0 have their own browser which,
I believe, is a modified Mosaic. AOL useres can elect to download MSIE 3.02
as a free upgrade. It still looks like the AOL browser, but it really is
MSIE. New computers with AOL installed already have the upgrade, older
computers with older software do not. How many have what? Who knows?

Sure.

Also, get QuickRes from the Microsoft website. It's a free utility that
allows you to change screen resolutions on the fly, without having to
reboot. Very handy.

Hope this helps.
