If you have ever built a website, you know as well as I do how nervous you get when it’s time to test your new web design in Internet Explorer. Luckily there is help: IE Tester.

Why bother you ask?

Even though there have been major improvements ever since IE8 came out, you still have IE6 and IE7 to deal with. Until IE6 goes away, which Microsoft plans on supporting until 2014, there is a great tool called IE Tester that helps the hurt.

What does it do?

IE Tester is a single program that lets you test your web design in multiple versions of IE. All you have to do is open a tab for the version you want to test and load your page. That’s it. Of course, it doesn’t fix all the bugs for you, but it’s certainly handy to have a tool that reveals all the faults in one spot.

Any Requirements?

While this tool is only built for Windows, you should be able to run this on your Mac using either BootCamp or Parallels. Use the link below to visit the download page for IE Tester.

    Let me help you debug by telling you the error I receive while viewing themolitor.com: Stack overflow at line 38.

    Also, I haven’t tried yet, but is themolitor.com viewable on the Opera browser?

    I rarely test in Opera, because like IE6 I don’t really care about it, but yes, it’s fine in Opera.

    Are you getting that “Stack Overflow at line 38″ popping up in an alert box? What version of IE are you using?

  3. Scott says:

    Yes, I get that in a pop up alert box when using IE 6. I don’t get that in other browsers though.
