Yes. Open the site in each browser you care about, and
view the results.

There's no magic bullet here. You can find analyzers that
supposedly check your site against the HTML and CSS
standards, but because the browser aren't 100% standard-
compliant, that's no guarantee of results. Most sites
contain "non-standard" HTML that takes advantage of
specific browser features, or that accommodate
differences among browsers.

Yes for some problems like broken link or web components
- upgrade to FP2003 to also run browser compatibility checks
