Mac testing just added 8 July
Yesterday we added Mac browser testing to SiteVista. We've got both Internet Explorer 5 and Safari. And, yes, we've got FullPage captures working with both (where you get a screen capture of the entire web page, even if it scrolls)!
One quick thing I should mention is that Internet Explorer 5 on the Mac and Internet Explorer 4 on Windows seem to be crashing when loading certain pages. As far as I can tell, it's due to JavaScript stuff that they don't understand.
If you continually get "There was a problem with this test" messages on those two browsers, try cutting any JavaScript from your site and trying again. If it subsequently works, clearly you'll need to do some kind of browser sniffing to hide the JavaScript. I'm going to put a note about this within SiteVista at some stage, but perhaps this will help people in the meantime.

I got an error message for both Mac browsers and there's no javascript in the site I tried to test...

Maaike, we did have a short period of downtime when David switched the IP address of SiteVista in order to add support for SSL. Perhaps this was when you were trying to test? During that period no tests came back on the Mac for a while.

I've been unable to get any Mac screenshots, and I also have no JavaScript.
(Of course, I'm _using_ a Mac, so it's a pretty small issue... :)
