i just configure a local server and use 3 browsers ... Opera, Firefox, IE6. if it work on them, its bound to work on all. :)

most sites that show good on opera and firefox need lotz of work to be set good in IE

I used three or four browsers, too to look at my sites before I opened them for customers... ant still there is lacks sometimes

How about migration to IE7?
My Windows Update did it automatic so I now am not able to test my websites in IE6.
Do someone have any ideas how to run them both on one machine?

Hi there folks.

Microsoft published a VirualPC-Image with IE6 installed on it.
Its a heavy weight download of 500MB and you need a (also free downloadable) copy of VirtualPC.

Info on this issue in general and download links here:

Code:

Another choice would be "Multible_IEs", sort of a utility that helps you install IE5/6 as standalone-versions next to IE7 installed natively on the same local system.

Code:

Whoever wants to test online, here is another project:

Code:

Thye dont send only screenshots like 'browsershots', but you can test live and online, running a local client for a remote system. This is better than screenshots for navigation-issues. You can log in free 10 times in 14days, otherwise they want some money.

I can recommend them, because they have all browsers since Win95.
And when my testing time expires, ... I just open a new free-account.
