I've just upgraded from Vista to XP. It natively has IE6 and I quite like it - I can FINALLY test properly rather than not have JS support, flash support, .htc support and all that. I need however a way to test in IE7. Tredosoft doesn't work. Are there any other solutions?
I'd rather have a local version, when constantly checking or using dynamic scripting that can't be checked by a screenshot it is far better. I use browsershots from time to time once a project is complete to check some of the more unusual browsers.
Get Sun's VirtualBox. It's a virtual machine on which you load another OS, either Vista or XP, whichever you have a license for. In my own case, I run Debian Gnu/Linux as the host OS, and Vista as the guest. Vista runs as an application on my Linux desktop. Handy. When I get around to it, I'll create another instance to run Win 98se; I have some old apps like, including IE6, that run in 98. cheers, gary
That'll work well. I was almost considering installing IE7 on my other computer and keeping IE6 on this one, bit of a pain though :S
