Online Internet Explorer Simulators [closed]

Answer 1

By way of reference, here is another screenshot rendering tool: https://browserlab.adobe.com/

It also does a number of other browsers and platforms as well, and provides a few nice little options like onion skinning etc.

Note: It seems that recently Internet Explorer 6 was removed, which makes it considerably less useful :S

Answer 2

I just realized that there's yet another option. I've heard a lot of good things about this service: Litmus Alkaline.

"Alkaline tests your website designs across 17 different Windows browsers right from your Mac desktop in seconds. No need for virtual machines, Windows licenses, or any messing around with Windows Update."

Answer 3

Use wine - it has IE6 with Gecko support built into it. More information here.

Answer 4

If you have enough space on your hard-disk in your OS-X of Apple, then you could install virtualbox for Mac-OS-X after download at http://virtualbox.org

Then you would need "only" 100 GB to create with this virtualbox as virtual harddisk. Then install for intentions of tests simply for 1 month-free-testtime a Windows of your choice - Vista or 7 or 8 - together with internet explorer ...

You dont need to buy Windows for this as long as you dont test longer than one month - when testing time is expired it is not tragic at all, you simply can repeat a new testing-time ...

This looks trivial but with virtualbox you have a real-time-testing-area in this case with IE - no matter which version of IE !

Answer 5

Something like BrowserShots?

Answer 6

Just stick with the virtual machine: If you're running Internet Explorer 8 you'll be able to activate the developer window using F12. There you're able to edit CSS as well as HTML on the fly without saving/reloading the page.
