Cross browser testing can be a pain for a web designer, so I tried to make it slightly more enjoyable with a simple checklist. These are all the things I personally check when coding and designing a site.

Is there anything you would add to it?

This is absolutely brilliant! I can not thank you enough for taking me serious when I saw your hand written version and told you to PDF this and get it out. You should pop your name & web address on the bottom so when I print out a ton for people here @ work they know where it came from. ;’)
@Frank,
I updated it with my name and business card site. Thanks for the suggestion! I hope you and your coworkers get some good use out of it.
the website checklist should be used for the Letterpress Tumblr theme as it does not work in Firefox for the mac…and maybe FF pc. i love it on the Safari browser.
@Dave,
I actually made this checklist for the Letterpress theme.
It looks fine to me. Can you be more specific about what is wrong with it?
Letterpress looks fine for me on Firefox 3.5.7 on my machine (I haven’t upgraded to 3.6 on this machine yet) http://grab.by/222y
Thanks for checking it out, Frank. I really appreciate your effort :-) You’re a good man.
I’m waiting a bit to fire up Firefox 3.6 because I’ve heard it crashes every 10 minutes (on the dot). I’ll be patient until 3.6.1 ;-)
kevin, you are correct. i am an idiot. at work we have a LAME older version. I had downloaded 3.5 ( now 3.6) but it was not allowed to be installed. i am sorry for the confusion. it looks great on 3.6. thanks.
Only reason I didn’t upgrade was because GMail Manager wasn’t available yet for 3.6 but they updated so I did too. Out of 7 developers only 1 has complained about 3.6 crashing thus far. I have 3.6 on two Mac’s and two PC’s and it doesn’t crash on any of them. (FYI)
Thanks for that info, Frank. Firefox 3.6 is downloading as I speak.
I have to say, I’m a Webkit guy myself though and almost never start up Firefox.
I don’t see anything about Linux on that list.
Linux, yeah!
And there’s almost no difference between the same browser on many platfomrs
Of course, also, “there’s almost no differenece” between FF/Opera/Safari/Chrome on Windows/Mac…

@MyFreeWeb – I just had a navigation broken site yesterday that looked if everywhere but on FF & Safari in OSX. It seems to me the small pixel differences break layouts in OSX.
Thankfully maybe 1% of our clientele uses Linux (and that’s a high %) so that’s not something I’d ever have to test. Most people rocking Linux have best friends that do web design and development and don’t end up sourcing it to anybody but them. =)
