i am learning Web Designing .i have to check the appearance of website at different time in different browsers.there are some paid software tools exist like http://crossbrowsertesting.com/ and browserstack.com but they are paid .How to check compatibility with different browsers (mainly old browsers.).what is the most convenient way for this and any free software in which we can check ??
this is not 100% answer to your question but check out this website: http://caniuse.com/ - there you can see, which html5+css3 elements you can use. Might be helpful when developing or planning or whatever :-)
Since you'll need to check on all main browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Explorer), plus old and current versions of each I recommend using Old Apps which allows you to download old, outdated versions of all main browsers. Since many people don't update their browsers when they should, this is the best way to simulate viewing your web pages as they would.
For a more complicated way of viewing true Internet Explorer 6 & 7, I would suggest installing a virtual machine on your PC. If you're on a Mac, set up Bootcamp, boot into Windows, then install a virtual machine in that. Obviously it's best to have a true Mac and true PC, but this will do in a pinch.
First and foremost, check out Old Apps. It should be the browsers you're looking for.

Since I dont have a Mac and dont have much experience (couldnt find any infos either)...I would like to know if Javascript in Mac is disabled by default if using Safari or any other browsers.
Im asking because it happened once that one or two users told me they couldnt access some of my sites features (all javascript) and that they are on a mac.
No. All of the mainstream OS X browsers support JavaScript and have it enabled by default.
It works perfectly in all those browsers, essentially firefox 19-30+, Safari 4-7+, opera 15+, chrome+. They display downscaled images fine as the rendering engine improved. You can always display a fallback using SVG if rendering is ugly using javascript media queries.

Sorry for my bad english in advance.
& i know, these are noob questions but i really need your help
So i have a project to do in 4-6 month, it's an eLearning platform/game using quiz system in which every player earn points & check his rank among all players in this game, the game should be integrated in facebook as an app, but also have to be used as an "application" on android phone, tablets (& iOS if it's possible too), & must require a connection to the facebook account before starting the game.
Do i have to code the game for every platform? is there any possibility to code one app for all of them? I've done some research on the internet, i think i have two options: either using flash & action script, or html5/css/js, are these tools are suitable for my project? i know some html5 & css already, but the game doesn't have to be a brower game on the mobile/tablet version.
I found a framework called phonegab that may help, do you think it's suitable?
Thanks
Creating a web-application using HtML5/PHP/Javascript (and/or other languages for the back-end: rails, python, java etc.) is the way to go if you're just starting out. While not as fluid or fast as native applications, you can build the web application and it will work on both iOS and Android, and you should be able to wrap it into a Facebook app.

In my project I have a problem. I have to implement a date (exactly only the year), when the browser, in which user opens my website, was released (I mean its current version).
For example if some user opens my website in the last version of
Google Chrome 31.0.1650.57, released november 14, 2013, it should show
him, that his browser released in 2013. If user opens my website in IE
8 (bad dream of all website programmers), it should show him 2009.
Can I get it in any programming language for the web? Please help!
Update: I know one method. I get the browser and the version and then I compare it with table of all browsers, their versions and their release dates of each version (exactly years). But it is really time-consuming and heavy on the size of my websites challenge :/
Marc B is correct. You will have to compile your own list.
A library that will help with this task is conditionizr. It's a cousin of Modernizr that is used for user-agent based tests.

I want to develop a new HTML5 / CSS3 webApp, and i need the users to have certain browsers compatible with specific CSS3 properties.
i wish to send users that have old browser versions to update them and after they update to reopen the Link to my webApp Automatically.
is there a way to do it?
Best for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome...
Thanks,
IDan
You can use modernizr to check if required HTML5/CSS3 features are enabled in the browser, if not display a disclaimer in your site to ask your user to upgrade (but the upgrade process must be done from your user, you can't force anything).
You can download custom version of Modernizr for the features you want to detect.

I use MDN as my Javascript and CSS reference. Considering that the creator of the Javascript language works at Mozilla, I assume this is the best reference. However, every now and then I hear about new features that are available in Google Chrome but Firefox doesn't have them yet. It makes me wonder:
Where and how these new specs are announced?
For the things that are similar between Chrome and Firefox, is it safe to assume that Chrome follows Firefox standards? I get the impression that Chrome's main aim is to be a faster Firefox (?) and that's why it doesn't have a vast wiki like Firefox.
If I'm developing for Chrome (let's say making Chrome apps for example), can I rely on Firefox's MDN as a reference? I couldn't find something equivalent to MDN for Chrome.
I'll mark the best reply as answer. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
All modifications are announced in the google chrome release blog.
As far as I see it, chrome isn't just a faster Firefox. It's a different browser altogether, that provides, in my view, much better user customization (as seen in things like themes) as well as having a developer base which provides some really good extensions. As to the wiki, chrome is considerably newer, however, it provides some really good user support via chrome support.
AFAIK, spidermonkey (Firefox) and v8 (chrome) engines are reasonably similar in terms of javascript, so you should be alright just using MDN. There's a webmaster.SE thread about the issue here.
