Running IE 5, 6 and 7 simultaneously on Windows

October 25th 2007 Posted to Geekery

I have a copy of Parallels Desktop running Windows XP so I can check how my sites look in Internet Explorer. Unfortunately I’ve only been able to view them in a single version of the browser, either 5 or 6 or 7. Until now, that is!

Multiple_IE will let you run IE 4, 5, 5.5 and 6. Once you’ve installed that, grab the standalone IE 7 installer and install that (longer instructions for IE 7 are here). I got them all up and running without too much trouble.

Ie-5-6-7-On-Mac

If you want the source for a single brower, browsers.evolt.org will help you.

If you have css specifically for IE 7 and don’t want other browsers to see it, create your stylesheet and then call it in your html using the code below:

<!--[if IE 7]><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="IE7styles.css" /><![endif]-->

IE 7 is supposed to support standards more than IE 6…let’s hope so!
