If you have access to a windows box, here's a better solution: Install IE10 and use the dev tools (F12). there you can set browser emulation to IE 7,8,9,10.

doesn't include ie6, but not many people still use it: http://www.ie6countdown.com/ http://www.ie6countdown.com/
- Pwnguinz 13y agoIE10's dev tools emulation is not perfect, and has its own set of quirks. Especially as it relates to the JS runtime[1]. [1] http://alexjmackey.wordpress.com/2012/10/19/how-accurate-ie-dev-tools/ http://alexjmackey.wordpress.com/2012/10/19/how-accurate-ie-...
- novaleaf 13y agothanks for the tips guys, i guess i have to give the ie7 one a download :/
- Isofarro 13y agoDon't do this for web development. The browser emulations are just that, emulations, and they fail to be perfect emulations. Which means you are likely to be fixing rendering issues and buggy behaviour in the emulated version that don't exist on the real thing, and more importantly missing issues that are evident in the real browser but not on the emulation. It's a cognitive dissonance, you are testing a browser stack your customers won't be using. Virtual machines are practically a better solution, though it gets into slighty murky territory when there's a lot of JavaScript magic going on. At that point, nothing really beats a native browser running on native hardware.
