7 Fresh and Simple Ways to Test Cross-Browser Compatibility

This post is written for designers, developers, or anyone else who has struggled with testing their websites across multiple browsers.

As little as one year ago, there were almost no good options for testing cross-browser compatibility of websites. The tools out there usually had significant drawbacks — either in cost, capabilities, or time required. Lately, though, there have been a lot of newcomers to the browser testing world, some of which offer truly excellent services.

In this article we’ve listed 7 fresh and simple tools for cross-browser compatibility testing, tools that actually make this stuff pretty easy. Not only that, but every single one of these tools can be used for free.

Easy Tooltip - jQuery plugin

By default this plugin will read the title attribute of the element and convert it into fade-in tooltip that you can style any way you want. Important note, it doesn't have to be an anchor tag. You can apply this script to any element(s) you want.
The one big thing that makes this different from my first version is that you are now allowed to put custom content, any html content you want - images, long paragraphs, link lists... anything. If you hate writing HTML code inside a JavaScript variable, this plugin allows you to use inner HTML from any element on the page. It means that you can write HTML directly on the page, as you normally do, hide that element with CSS and have it appear as a tooltip on mouse over. Take a look at the demos for more info.
