  Last month, Adobe released BrowserLab, an online tool to help web developers easily preview their websites in multiple web browsers without needing to have each browser installed. You simply input your website's URL and it shows you how your website renders in Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari. Furthermore, it has an overlay feature that enables you to see two renderings on top of one another so that you can identify even the most minute differences. This feature is poorly named "Onion Skin View". browserlab_1.jpg|Screenshot of Adobe…

  As you browse around the web you come up on many interesting finds, which happens to me quite often. Last week I found Cross-Browser.com, a website full of cross-browser CSS and JavaScript examples. Every example that I've tried works in Opera, Firefox, and Safari.
