CSS Brain Haemorrhages

    Hey

    I'm sure you all know what I am going to talk about given the title!

    I've been using css layouts for a good while now and while I consider myself to be fairly competent with CSS there is always that 2% of issues with CSS. I mainly work off a mac and have my styles airtight for Firefox and safari and IE, but then when I check on a PC (IE) there is always a very slight difference.

    Now what I want to know is, is there any absolute airtight way to have your sites completely perfect for all browsers without the testing brain haemorrhage.

    Also as I am working on the Mac this weekend I can't get near IE for the PC, I've been asking mates to test for me but they tire quickly, is there any online tool that could check my files on IE? If not there should be!

    Any thoughts?

    Probably not, unless you consider serving an image / flash as the page a viable alternative ;)

    There's http://www.danvine.com/iecapture/ which is free, but really slow and frequently unavailable, and http://www.browsercam.com/ which is not free but quite good. I'm sure there are others

    You don't say what type of mac you have, but if it's anyway recent, try Q - its a free virtual machine for OSX based on QEMU, you could install windows in the virtual machine and check WinIE from your mac

    I have a Mac Book Pro and a G5 i think I'd be better off putting Boot Camp on it and working like that rather than getting a windows machine.

    You should be alright with Q on the macbook pro - after all, you only need Win98SE for IE6. That way you wouldn't have to reboot when you want to check something in IE, which would be a frustrating way to work if you had to reboot + check, reboot + change, reboot + recheck until you fixed your IE issues...
