Test your Joomla site on all web browsers

Imagine there was only one browser.

But I am not the only one...

As you may have guessed, the lyrics refer to the Beatles' song "Imagine". However funny, testing your Joomla! website on browser compatibility is not always fun. Many of you will have encountered the following:

You have been working hard on your Joomla website and you get notified by a visitor of your website that he or she uses Internet Explorer 6 and your Joomla website looks like an amateur has been working on it.

I know, who uses Internet Explorer 6 nowadays? Well... unfortunately more than you think, many offices are dependent of their IT department and due to software running, the IT department cannot make the switch to more modern browsers.

That is just one scenario, another is, you make it all compatible for IE6 and IE7, and here comes Microsoft Internet Explorer 8. And another; How about, browsers like FireFox 2, 3 and 3.5. Or the Apple Safari browsers. Do not forget to test Google Chrome or Opera.

Browser compatibility is a major factor in having a so so Joomla website or having a really properly built Joomla website. To fully test browser compatibility I have stumbled upon one great website that helps you testing them all without having to install all those browsers on your PC.

The picture here shows you which browsers can all be tested. Mind you, they are not just tests, or screenshots/snapshots like some sites offer. You get the real browser to work with, without installing it!

Test your Joomla site: :: You can test your complete Joomla site with all these browser without the need of installing them. Click on the picture and begin testing your Joomla site.

Here is the website that offers you THE perfect Joomla web browser compatibility kit: Spoon.net
