Why are some of the browsers not loading?

Aug 17, 2012 7:57 PM

Some of the browsers loaded after a while but some, such as Chrome and one of the IE versions just sits there going round and round on 0% loaded.  I accidentally left one trying to load while I went out shopping and on my return found it hadn't changed from 0%!!

 

What is the problem here please and what can I do to be able to check my site in a range of browsers?

 

Thanks

    What url are you testing and how many browsers do you want to simultaneously test?

    I was actually trying to test a stand alone site (through firebug) which I thought was possible.  But as a result of your question I have just gone back into browsser lab and find that if I enter an actual url rather than a stand alone site the browsers are loading.

     

    Have now tried it again through firebug with a standalone site and most of the browsers are working except for IE8 which is just sitting on 0%. 

     

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    By "standalone" site do you mean a localhost site, or one that's behind a firewall? What's the URL you're putting into BrowserLab?

    Assuming you meant localhost or behind a firewall, you might want to check out this article for some tips:

    Hope this helps,
