There's practically an unlimited (and untestable) amount of browsers,
options, systems, media, contexts, users, and so on. Testing the site on
every system with every browser and every setting etc. is impossible. What
you can do is optimize the site for some popular browsers, like Internet
Explorer 4+, Netscape 4+ with default settings on Windows. If you really
want to test in many browsers, better check with your client/ target group.
But the best thing is to have a valid site in the first place, and know a
lot about possible implications of everything you do; HTML, CSS, images, and
so on.
