Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 on same computer for debugging [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can also use Microsoft's own Expression Web SuperPreview

Edit:

Sorry I didn't notice your "...and debug it..." statement in the original post. I think SuperPreview will just show a side-by-side visual comparison. If you need to debug javascript or anything like that, then I would use the virtualization methods mentioned above. (In practice I actually use virtualization for testing, but I figured I'd suggest something different.)

Answer 2

Use IETester.

Answer 3

We do all of our IE6 testing on a VMWare machine that runs XP with IE6. Obviously takes a bit of setup time but worth it once it's done.

Answer 4

Install Virtual PC (now a free download) and one of the disk images from this page that provides you with a vanilla install of XP with the browser you want to test.

Answer 5

I've played with many of these ie6 options, and the best IMO is just to have a vmware install with an ie6 image in the long term.

In the short term, however, I've had the most success with IE Collection, but it is still somewhat buggy.

IES4Linux and IES4OSX work [sometimes] on their respective Operating Systems too.

Answer 6

Multiple IE works great.
