When you're working on web stuff you certainly will face problems with some browsers rendering your website in a different way than all others in the world. That sucks, but it does happen.

I used to use this interesting site/service IENetRenderer (http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/) to see how my sites where rendered on Internet Explorer, as I only have linux boxes.

But today I found an even more interesting (really a lot more!) site/service: http://browsershots.org/. It can give you screenshots from several browsers in several operating systems. That is really awesome!

"What is Browsershots? Browsershots makes screenshots of your web design in different browsers. It is a free open-source online service created by Johann C. Rocholl. When you submit your web address, it will be added to the job queue. A number of distributed computers will open your website in their browser. Then they will make screenshots and upload them to the central server here."

I used this service on a website I just put online (http://www.leitenapista.com.br, portuguese only). It is Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict, valid CSS 2.1 and renders OK on 37 of 38 I got screenshots from. The only one that failed to render it correctly was Internet Explorer 8.
