View and Test with All Versions of IE (Internet Explorer)
filed in Web Development on Jun.03, 2009
Problem
You’re trying to build a cross-browser compatible web site or application. It works great in Firefox, Google Chrome, and Opera. There’s just one left to test, right? That’d be nice, wouldn’t it? Unfortunately Internet Explorer is so inconsistent from version to version, that it’s almost impossible to know how your website is performing in all of them.
Solution
Forget trying to “Emulate” or install multiple versions of IE. The solution is MUCH simpler. IETester is a handy little program I picked up earlier this year that easily allows you to pull up a tab for any version of IE, starting with 5.5! It’s a quick download, free, and works miracles. This is the end-all to your frustrations. Trust me.

This is a really really cool app, but unfortunately does not work on windows 7 nor (I think Vista), however you can download virtual XP for win 7 from the Microsoft website, this comes bundled with IE6 but may auto update to IE7/8 but this does not matter as IE Tester works within the XP Virtual Environment a treat.
Thanks for the link it has helped me LOADS!!!
