How to do Internet Explorer 7 testing and javascript debugging on windows 7?

Question

I have windows 7 platform and I want to test my web application on Internet explorer 7. How can I do it ?

For this I have tried various solutions. I installed ieTester for the same. It is a good tool, but I cann't debug the javascript part in ieTester.

One of the stackoverflow post only Alert Box in IE Tester Mark has mentioned that to use Firebug in ieTester, but I am unable to do that also.

I have also tried Microsoft expression superview in that also I havn't find any way to debug javascript.

Kindly help out in this issue.. My aim is to debug javascript on Internet Explorer 7 on windows 7 platform.

Any successful solution of this will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

As said above ie9 will emulate ie7 - but it is not exactly ie7, i have seen numerous instances of real ie7 behaving differently to ie9. What i do for this is have a virtual pc image of vista with ie7 on it.

Internet Explorer 9 has the option to view a website in IE7 mode & has a range of debugging tools. Just press F12 to open the developer tools.
