Render a screen cap
« on: April 19, 2009, 12:34:40 AM »
This may come in handy for some of you. Web sites that render a screen shot of your site for you.

They help me a lot as I am on Linux and can not get to a Windows PC to test IE.
Also my screen size sucks so it is a big help. I have not tested them all out but thought to share as they are a big help for me and may be for someone else.


---Edit---
Not all of them are free.......:( Wonder how hard it would be to make the service.

http://ipinfo.info/html/rendering_services.php   < has a list of other pages that does this. some are the ones I posted first

For Windows users this might be useful as well:

IETester, all (5.5+) IE engines in one program

I hope it's not off topic
Meet us at an IRC irc.freenode.net #bbg as well

To make one im guessing you would have to have the certain program installed on a machine, use php to execute a custom written application, use that application to open the specified url, and then from there have your application take a screen shot of the screen. From there upload that image to your web server, and pass back the "to-be" url of the uploaded image to display to the user.

Or am i completely on the wrong page?
