Cross browsing CSS layout

Walle

Anyone know if this CSS layouts is cross browsing?
http://layouts.ironmyers.com/

On that site;
"Each CSS Layout will look and behave the same in all internet browsers, like Internet Explores 6 (IE6), Internet Explorer 7 (IE7), Firefox, Opera, Safari and so on

and i tested with IE8 and FF 3.5.5 and it works fine. How about other version and other browser?

If they claim it works in all (most) browsers, including IE6 and IE7, and you try IE8 and FF 3.5 or 3.6, there's a good chance it will work in other browsers as well. If it is critical that you know for sure if it works in other browsers, test it in those browsers.

Just want be sure if that works and also want know if it works in IE5, and with other OS. Does it work on browser that you use? For example this one http://layouts.ironmyers.com/950_pixel_Layouts/layout/?id=29

Is there any site or tools that I can test CSS how it work on different browser and OS platform? I’m sure I have seen some site before but cant remember which site it was.

IE5? For real? IE6 was release in 2001, which means it has existed for half the lifetime of the web.It truly does seem excessive to support IE5.

IE5 had a whooping 0.03% market share last time I saw statistics for it. Far more than I had expected to be sure, but still most likely non-consequential. How much money are you willing to spend on making this work? How much degradation in look, feel and usability is acceptable for modern browser users to support these 0.03%?

You should probably ask yourself the same thing for IE6, even though it has reported market share of 10-20%.

Many other companies have already stopped supporting older browsers like Internet Explorer 6.0 as well as browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers. We’re also going to begin phasing out our support, starting with Google Docs and Google Sites. As a result you may find that from March 1 key functionality within these products -- as well as new Docs and Sites features -- won’t work properly in older browsers.

And over the course of 2010, gmail and gcal will be phased out as well according to http://www.chromefans.org/chrome-news/google-to-stop-supporting-old-browser-internet-explorer-6.htm.

Have you tried a regular web search? A "css browser test" (without quotes) search gave me at least two valid sites: www.crossbrowsertesting.com and browsershots.org.
