Multiple Versions of IE on same PC

As you would know I’m the owner, webmaster and everything of www.thinktechno.com. Most of my free time goes to optimizing the website and other things. Optimizing in a sense I try to fix the problems associated with fastening, code cleaning, and checking the website with multiple website.

Problem is that almost all the versions of Firefox have no problems rendering my website, even opera does exceptionally well. But Internet explorer always gives me headaches. A minor stylesheet changes drops columns, sidebars, and do all sorts of crazy things. Add to that windows won’t allow installing multiple versions of IE.

What if I can? Multiple IE is a great recent find. It allows me to run multiple versions of IE without any problems. I can now check the alignment issues or page rendering of my website with multiple versions.

Multiple Versions of IE on same PC

Download the installer and start it. You’ll that the installer contains IE3 IE4.01 IE5 IE5.5 and IE6. IE7 is a miss but I’m sure most of windows XP users have upgraded to IE7. Currently this software is not supported on Vista.

After starting the program, you can decide on which version of IE to install. The older browsers can be called up from the start menu after set up. The installer contains IE3 IE4.01 IE5 IE5.5 and IE6. All you need is to have a system which has XP and IE7. Currently this software is not supported on Vista.

    @Diana,
    Multiple versions of IE will be useful for developers to check the alignments and other issues of websites.

    @Diana
    as nirmal has already told, dev’s need to checkout a website if it works with different versions.

    Hey i was having problem with CPU usage with my current host, you are hosted on bluehost, how are they. Even sizlopedia and your site is much bigger then me. But they fair better on the simple shared hosting that bluehost is providing. How can that be possible.
