Question

I have windows 7 and IE8. But i want to test my site on IE7 too. Is there a utility which i can install on windows and test my site on both version of IE. My Windows 7 also does not allow me to install IE7 saying IE7 is not valid for this OS. Another question is if i run my site on compatibilty view , is it equivalent to run it on IE7?I am net getting how can i test my site on IE7 and IE8 on same machine?

Was it helpful?

Solution

The compatibility view isn't completely equal to the real browser, but serves to see serious errors.

In Microsoft page can download IE6 and IE7, but you need a virtual machine (and image of Windows XP) for install that.
