A while ago I ran across a web site that prints basic diagnostic information, such as what browser you're using and whether cookies / Javascript are enabled.

What was that site? (Or do you know of a site like that?)

Here's a business idea for someone who has time: Create a site like Fog Creek Copilot, except, instead of giving the helper access to the user's PC, it would simply send the helper an email with diagnostic information about the user's web browser. – Patrick McElhaney Nov 20 at 21:28

Check this out: Browser Security Test (perhaps not exactly what you ask for, but definitely useful).

which one's "OK", and which one's "Cancel"? – ~quack Nov 20 at 23:57
My OS is Turkish. "Tamam" means "OK", "Vazgeç" means "Cancel" in Turkish. You won't see them in Turkish, of course, since your OS is not Turkish :-) – Mehper C. Palavuzlar Nov 21 at 10:05
I realized that I've used too many Turkishes in my above comment ;) – Mehper C. Palavuzlar Nov 21 at 10:06
i suppose that makes sense. thx for the explanation. i'll just ignore the extra Turkishes if ya don't mind. :) – ~quack Nov 22 at 20:12

It might have been http://www.findmebyip.com/. If not, it looks pretty good!

Yes, that's a cool site. It even allows me to create an account so I can send a user a URL and have the results sent back to me. Unfortunately, it doesn't say whether cookies are enabled. That's the one thing I really need to know right now. – Patrick McElhaney Nov 20 at 21:51

Not the one I was thinking of but I just found this:

http://www.uga.edu/browsertest/

The one I saw before was a little shorter. I could tell a user to just visit whateveritwas.com or .info -- no "backslashes."

technically those are "forwardslashes" or just "slashes". "backslashes" are those weird things in a DOS/Windows path. :) – ~quack Nov 21 at 0:00
