CMS Made Simple Forums

i've a question. Which browsers support you these days? And which versions?? And how do you this on different platforms. and whats do you use a default developer browser. and why??

I test on Chrome, Firefox and IE7&8 .. Whenever I come across a Mac, I test all my recent sites, but never had an issue.

My development browser is Chrome, because I really like the "Inspect Element" tool.. Makes it really easy to debug CSS and graphically see why it looks the way it does.

I develop on Chrome. Also because of the developers tools and love the ability to edit CSS on the fly, plus it's fast and seems to have the fewest quirks.

Test on IE9 (that allows me render using IE7, IE8 engines), plus Firefox and Safari. Plus run tests using Adobe Browserlab (love it).

Have finally kicked IE6 into touch when it's UK share has dropped below 1%! Focus on mobile/touch compatibility instead - much more worthwhile.

Would also like to test on an iPad (but someone must have told Santa something - so I didn't get one this Christmas) .

My son has an iPad, so I'm always bugging him to test my sites.

I develop using Firefox and the Web Developers tool bar, it opens CSS on the side as a text file looking thing that you an edit in real time and see how it effects the site...

I tried Chrome but having to find the css style that is effecting the item I want to change and then clicking it to make editable then having to click outside of the edit box to see changes just seems like at least 2 clicks too many...

To each they own...
