When it comes to web design, cross browser compatibility is one of those pain in the arse jobs that can be very time consuming. Last night I was struggling with an issue where IE6/5 (yes, some people still use IE5!) were rendering something horribly. Now, I could care less about IE5 but IE6, unfortunately, still needs supporting for the stragglers. Anyway, it turned out that I had fixed the issue without even realising it and the reason I didn't see it was because my multi-IE installation was a bit poorly. Then, however, a friend showed me Xenocode. The details of how it works are not really important - unless you're into that stuff, in which case it's fucking awesome! - but what it allows you to do is run all major internet browsers, over the internet, via your internet browser! It really is very cool and means you don't have to install every browser under the sun to test the compatibility of your css :D
