The reason this task is the trickiest is due to the fact that there are so many different browsers knocking about in the internet and they are only starting to become fully compliant with W3C guidelines such as CSS and HTML. Aside from these issues, it is easy to install different web browsers on your computer, but not so easy to have multiple version running at the same time on the same machine. There are solutions out there, albeit rather techy solutions such as “Internet Explorer Application Compatibility VPC Image” which allows you to have Internet Explorer 6 and 7 running at the same time but only on Windows XP SP2!

Step in Browser Shots!
Browser Shots allows designers to view their site designs not only in different browsers, but in different versions of those browsers (including beta versions) as well as different operating system environments. This is truely a godsend for designers around the world who are face with the pitfalls of the browser compliancy wars.
