Very handy to be able to run multiple versions of IE.... Very ironic this ability is coming out now..

Has anyone else noticed that the javascript support in the old browsers seems sort of wacked out? For example the IE 4 browser generates javascript errors that the actual install of IE 4 does not... Thats my only complaint...

Thanks

Anyone working on a PC wanting to test the Apple Mac Safari browser should check out ICapture.

http://www.danvine.com/icapture/

it will give you a screenshot from Safari 1.2, if you don't fancy paying $39.95 for Browser Cam.

VMWare
nsa@... 11th Mar 2004
VMWare (www.vmware.com) is a great way of maintaining browser versions in their own virtual OS. VMWare can also take snapshots before any major installs/tweaks and can revert back to them if problems arise. Might be a bit costly but the solution means you don't have to keep trashing a machine when IE decides to go belly up and RIP your OS.

Cloud Testing ? http://www.cloudtesting.com/ ? offer a functional website testing and cross browser testing service that allows you to test your websites from the cloud.
Enterprise users can download an agent which allows access to your local resources, i.e. inside your firewall/network.
It is based on Selenium, and allows you to capture scripts in the Selenium IDE plugin for Firefox, and then upload onto our servers for running.
We currently support the following browsers:
Firefox 2, 3 & 3.5
Internet Explorer 6,7 & 8
Safari 3.2 & 4.0
Chrome 2 and 3
Opera 9.6 and 10.0
With all of the above we capture full screenshots (i.e. of the browser window, not just the OS window), store the HTML and details of components on each page, along with timings and HTTP request and response headers. All of this is available to view via the results portal ? http://portal.cloudtesting.com/
A free 7 day trial is available ? http://www.cloudtesting.com/free_trial.php
Found a website that will test your web page in various versions of IE and render a screen print back to your browser. Found it very easy and helpful for what I need to see. Site is http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/
and it required no virtual machine or loading of multiple version of IE on my PC.
Another method is to use Microsoft's Internet Explorer Application Compatibility VPC Images for Virtual PC:
