Multiple Versions of Internet Explorer

If you’re like me and love writing code for websites, you’ve probably run into the problem of browser compatibility. The same website can look great in FireFox, but look awful in Internet Explorer. But, it gets even more frustrating when you have it looking good in FireFox and IE7, but then notice that it screws up in IE6! Finally, once you hear from your grandma that your site looks all messed up on her computer (still running IE5), you want to pull your hair out!!!

Unless you have a bunch of spare computers laying around, it’s difficult to test your site out in the 3 latest versions of IE. Thankfully, there’s a solution to this problem that turns out to be pretty easy.

MultipleIEs is a simple Windows executable that allows you to install multiple versions of IE automatically without having to mess with the registry or DLL files. And, you can install versions of IE all the way back to IE3! (not that you’d need to).

Head over to the website for details, install instructions, and bugs. Here’s the link to the direct download if you want to skip visiting their site. Have fun!
