[thelist] Broswer emulator

Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

I should add that the point of browser testing in this (wide) range
of browsers is not necessarily to make it work in all of them, it's
to understand where and how badly it breaks.

Then you can make a sensible business decision about whether
it's worth fixing each of the problems.

Cheers
Martin

+1 on that... and with the browser archive
(http://browsers.evolt.org/) available, there's really no reason *not*
to install a few different ones...

martin wrote up an article a long time ago about this:
