Hello there!

Multiple versions of Internet Explorer on a PC

If you make websites, then you need to test under different browsers. Microsoft Internet Explorer is the most widely used browser by an overwhelming majority, but doesn’t really like to exist in more than one version under a Windows install. If you have access to several computers, you can keep one using IE6 and another using IE7. This is a solution, but far from ideal.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way though :) I found Multiple IE Installer on Google while testing my folio page under IE6.

It’s freeware, not exactly bug-free and probably breaks the IE license agreement in all sorts of ways (so don’t come crying to me if you try it and things go horribly wrong) but it appears to work. I’m currently looking at my page in IE6 and IE7.

My page has some IE6 glitches. Better sort them, then. Ho hum.
