I use a mac so I have several versions of XP running through VMWare,  
each with their own version of IE. You can also do this under windows  
(run a virtual machine).

There are other solutions such as http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE and 
http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2009/03/19/microsoft-superpreview-website-tester/

I've tried the tredosoft one a while back and it was pretty good but  
there were a couple of instances where things weren't exactly right. I  
seem to remember some javascript differences.

I haven't really looked into this. I guess I was assuming that the  
author had looked into it and that it was necessary. It establishes a  
stacking context for the divs inside it but you could experiment with  
removing it.

Absolutely. That's what I would do. As I said, I just copied his  
example and modified it. Once you've got it working correctly then you  
can refine it and tidy things up.

You need to reset to text-align: left on .wrapper because .content is  
text-align: center and it will inherit from that.
