Each web designer or developer ought to be acquainted with browser testing, in particular the more experienced in the field. It’s typical knowledge that creating a web page to function with several distinct browsers can occasionally be a pain in the ass to the less skilled web designer or web developer. Especially testing your sites on the older IE versions can at times offer some nasty surprises. There was a site known as IE Death March, trying to get individuals to stop developing web-sites in accordance to IE 6 standards. In this reality that sadly didn’t work.  For instance I would really like to move forward as well, but my tower defense site still gets a big share of these visitors. Also user experience of IE 6 users should be as best as possible in my opinion. Please don’t feel that these instruments I am about to show you can fix all of your problems, they should simply assist you to show how your design looks in multiple IE versions.

The dilemma with nearly any other browser on the market is you can only have one instance installed on your PC. For browsers outside Internet Explorer that mainly isn’t a very big issue, simply because a lot of that market share uses the latest release of the application. For instance a lot of Firefox users have a tendency to be much more into computer technology, than in most cases our Internet Explorer users. As we all comprehend IE was delivered standard with earlier versions of Windows. There are many peoplearound that didn’t update their IE internet browser yet, or simply did not feel like it. To get back to the problem of the capability to have only one version of internet browser application set up: there are some testing tools on the market that offer you all important IE versions in just one package.

Multiple IE
This computer software has been around for some while. Simply google for ‘Multiple IE’ and you will find the site to download. With this computer software you can install each single model of Internet Explorer since version three. Fairly helpful tool, but you have to install every single version as independent instance. The older versions of Internet Explorer delivered in this bundle can occasionally act a bit unusual though, when using them.

IE Tester
You can grab this application from my-debugbar.com. Simply google for ‘IE tester’ and it ought to be the top result. The program delivers all relevant versions of IE in just one software program. If you for example want to have a glance at your site in IE 6, you can just open a tab in the program for it. This counts for all browser versions available. You can also have one URL opened in all distinct web browser versions at once. Each tab represents your web site in a different version of Internet Explorer.

IE Tester used to be a bit buggy at first, but discovered the program to be a lot more stable now. I use this software all the time when building new web sites. Of course for everyone taste is different, so I suggest giving a go at both software packages.
