Ask HN: IE Javascript Engine Simulator?
I've got an ajax javascript that isn't running properly under all flavors of IE, according to several IE users and confirmed by http://browserlab.adobe.com
My environment is linux and Mac exclusively, so I cannot (directly) run IE.
Short of installing a Windows VM from virtualbox (or similar), are there any web-based javascript engine emulators where I could see IE's error console?
- mbrubeck 17y agoI don't know of any emulator, but I've had success running IE under Wine on Linux, using IEs4Linux: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page (Note: Google currently has a malware warning for that domain, so take reasonable precautions, don't use an unpatched browser or OS...)
- dpapathanasiou 17y agoThanks for the suggestion. If I have to install anything on my machine, though, I'll just as soon go with a windows VM from virtualbox. I was hoping for something completely web-based, like jslint.com, but which would reflect IE's javascript engine and error console.
- geniepeg 17y agoMicrosoft didnt write js engine well, I wont expect a simulator even. dnt worry abt IE compatibility, Firefox is a go.
