how can i test my website with ie6

Question

i worked on a website in the latest firefox and then presented it on a machine that just had ie6 (and it looked horrible). is there anyway i can test what it will look like in

Answer 1

I have a testing PC in which i have IE6 installed. And i check the pages on that. I recommend that this approach is the best as testing on IE6 itself is the best.

Answer 2

Here is the link to the VPC images from MS for testing in many OS and browser combinations

Answer 3

Evolt's browser archive has legacy IE installs, including standalone versions: http://browsers.evolt.org/?ie/

Answer 4

Get Microsoft Virtual PC (it's free). You can download images with IE6, IE7, and IE8 for all your wtf-microsoft! debugging needs.

Also, don't trust IE8 compatibility mode.
