We don't really have designers where I work; it's really just a bunch of developers with different skills and I tend to be the person to ask about any HTML/CSS stuff (sometimes JS stuff too), and from there the process is usually very similar.

I take a chair, sit down at my coworker's desk, and we start editing things live and trying what works; adding and removing elements, resizing the window, clicking through the application, etc.

This usually leads to problems being found quite early because testing on live data (or a copy thereof) in a real browser just exposes more problems than having only the "ideal" case with a reasonable number of elements on a normally sized screen.

i love your approach too. things proceed so much better further down the line if we test the ideas in the browser as early as possible
