IE7

[Dymok SR]

Yes, it is possible http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE[^] btw... with js turned off formatting buttons submit form... instead of format text

Yes, but not the way you think. When running legacy or incapatible software it is best to setup a VM for just that purpose. You can use u$ connectex product, xen or vmware. All are free. vm's are great for maintaining legacy development environments like vb6, vb4, paradox, fortran 77, SAS 6, ORCAD ... all that old stuff where you still have to support. It is also great for testing all the new beta stuff. I also have a virtual domain setup on my workstation so I can mess with AD and Exchange issues and not hurt anybody. It's great fun for those of us who are old farts but still like to mess with the new stuff.

You can try Portable Internet Explorer 7, you can keep installed IE6 on your machine and use the portable one, I think you can have both of them on your computer. Try here: http://forums.mydigitallife.info/showthread.php?t=190

Yes you can. You can run multiple operating systems with Microsofts Virtual PC 2007. This will allow you to install windows xp / MSIE 6.0 and run them simultaneously. I don't remember the download even being that big... but I could be wrong. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx[^] You may also need to d/l window xp image which MS provides free (and activated) here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=21EABB90-958F-4B64-B5F1-73D0A413C8EF&displaylang=en[^]

The easiest way if your not too bothered is just install IE7 and then open up "My Computer" and type the website into the address bar, all the icons and stuff will change to IE6

I second the MultipleIEs package for basic browser testing. There are a few issues, but for testing web apps/css/browser-based javascript/etc... it's just the ticket. I installed the whole package, and actually have IEs v3.0, 4.01, 5.0, 5.01, 5.5, 6.0 and 7.0 all working quite nicely side-by-side. I'll typically have IE 5.5, 6.0, 7.0, FireFox, Safari, and Opera all operating simultaneously during web development and CSS in particular (helps greatly to tame the box model hacks).

Yeah MultipleIE works pretty good. I run IE6 on a machine with IE7 installed. It works great except when debugging - none of the tools run in IE6 (ie dev toolbar, etc). But it works fine for verifying IE6 functionality.

I've used this and it works well. I now have every version of IE back to 3 running on my PC and use it all the time for testing web sites I develop (which is probably the only reason someone would put themselves through this).

I recommend the tredosoft program highly!! I use it daily to test the webhelp I create and its very convenient!
