GoLive is an excellent HTML editor that has many powerful features. It includes a feature that tries to show how your Web page will display on different browsers, with limited success. GoLive accomplishes this by “emulating” each browser. That is to say, it displays your page in a Window that represents the browser, and then filter out HTML tags and attributes that the browser doesn’t understand. While this approach helps to spot errors caused by browser compatibility problems, it won’t spot problems caused by HTML errors, browser bugs, missing fonts, screen size, or differences in how each browser handles Dynamic HTML. The only way to know how your page will display on a given browser running a particular computer is to actually view that page on that computer. Browser photo does this; software that emulates browser behavior doesn’t. Not convinced? Take a look at our gallery of browser display errors. Of the problems shown in our gallery, GoLive would have spotted only one of them.
