So far I've found two pieces of software that can do this. The first one I like best, but doesn't seem to work on Vista: http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE Like David said, some of the things in any version you then try, still use the features of the highest installed version (cookie management for example, I think??), but overall it's my experience that when I view a page in the "fake" IE6, it renders it the same as if it were a *REAL* IE6 about 99.5% of the time. The other one is much buggier but DOES work on Vista: http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage This one's still in alpha release, but it does allow you to view pages in IE8 mode as well it seems, without actually having to install the real IE8. --- On Thu, 9/18/08, David Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Another option is to use VMWare or some other virtual PC > technology to install and run a virtual Windows PC on your > existing one, and install the older IE version on it.

I'm using Microsoft Virtual PC for this kind of thing, but here's my problem..... Whenever I start up any virtual machine, I can not seem to access my standard hard drive (I believe it has to do with security, that a virtual machine shouldn't be allowed to access the real hard drive or something). Any files I want to use in the virtual machine have to be either burned on a CD (or image file), OR I have to go online within the virtual environment. Does anybody know if it's possible to actually open a browser in my virtual PC and then just go straight to, say, C:\websites\blabla\index.html ? mS ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
