The standard process for developing HTML and CSS tests is with reftests: <http://testthewebforward.org/docs/reftests.html>. In short, you prepare two pages that should render identically. The reftest framework takes pictures of the two pages and compares the resulting images for equivalence. In terms of automation, I've been able to use the functionalities in Gecko to automate a mimereftest suite for Thunderbird, but I haven't pursued the project beyond prototype stages. -- Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it. -- Donald E.
