Right now, it only does those things necessary to unit test our code which uses a subset of the features available in IE6, Firefox 1.0, and Firefox 1.5. We've gotten several inquiries about other browsers (Safari and Camino topping that list), as well as various features. As it stands, crosscheck only simulates those browser features specifically needed by freestyle, so at the moment, if you're being ever-so-terribly clever with your javascript, and using advanced or obscure browser hacks(most good ajax framework do), crosscheck will probably not work for you "out of the box." But, that's why we open sourced it, with the hope that early adopters interested in the crosscheck approach, can, with our help, add the features that they need most. The best place for questions or comments about crosscheck is through one of the public channels to be found on the <a href="http://dev.thefrontside.net/crosscheck" rel="nofollow">Crosscheck development site</a> Cheers, Charles Alas, Crosscheck does not emulate Safari.

Congrats Charles:) We'll definitely take a look. We've been doing a lot of work on our testing infrastructure and automation. Trying to get everything wrapped up into cruise control right now. We should do a podcast with you two and Dave to chat about Ajax and testing. Sweet! Congrats Charles:) We’ll definitely take a look.
