Universal Head schrieb: However, does anyone know a way of testing that these are acting as they should for each version number? I do have to methods. First there is a favelet which you can get from my blog. It tells you on the bottom of the browser (don't know the english word for this area) which version it is. The blog is in German but you should find the favelet on http://www.grochtdreis.de/weblog/index.php?id=P157 and you can download it as a url-file from http://www.grochtdreis.de/weblog/GetBrowserVersion2.url The second method is a CSS-method. You can use the Comment Hack, the Star-Seven Hack or the Escape-Hack.

Re: [WSG] Testing multiple versions of IE
Well since quirksmode is full of css and js tests I might suggest you merely peruse some of the Peter's tests and examples there. I'm not sure that anyone has done a rigourous point by point check to see that these browsers are exactly the same as if they were regular installs, but they seem to be. one quick check would be to just make a page with some divs on it... some with some without a box model hack Universal Head wrote: I've installed IE 5.01, 5.5 and 6 on my Windows2000 box using this method: http://www.quirksmode.org/browsers/multipleie.html However, does anyone know a way of testing that these are acting as they should for each version number?
