Re: [WSG] Multiple IE's for browser testing
If you use the freely availabel Microsoft Virtual PC you can run the also freely available IE Compat images Microsoft provides. These are timebombed which means you'll have to re-download them about every 3 to 4 months, but it also saves you having to buy 3 separate Windows XP licenses to run the current (IE8), previous (IE7) and ancient and evil (IE6) browsers.

Re: [WSG] Multiple IE's for browser testing
Hi Use virtualbox (.org) and run up a virtual machine that only has IE7 on it. You can do this by installing XP into the virtual machine and updating it to IE7. Remember to turn off Windows Update so it doesn't upgrade to IE8 when you are not looking. Virtualisation is the only real way to get an IE that matches what site visitors are using, meaning less fubar when debugging an issue. (I don't see the general public browsing with a MultipleIE browser). Note you will need a Windows license for each virtualised Windows machine you use.

Re: [WSG] Multiple IE's for browser testing
download microsofts Virtual PCs that come with IE6 or IE7. sorry forgotten link, but google is your friend This is the only correct way of getting cross browser testing n one machine. We used to use MultiIE but there are issues ciao L Kristine Cummins wrote: I've recently downloaded IE8 and now my standalone IE7 refuses to work.

They react as expected to the usual hacks: Tan (or star-html) hack; backslash hack; *:first-child+html; as well as the underscore-before-property and star-before-property hacks. The situation WRT conditional comments is a bit more mixed. All reacted correctly to the major version, but "[if IE 5.01]" and "[if IE 5.5]" conditions are ignored by all... Note that I retained the original IE 8. Not sure if this makes a difference, as it certainly borked the version vector on the stand-alone versions from Tredosoft that I used previously.
