I am not really apt at web design, I stumble at best. How does one with only access to a Mac, code for Internet Explorer. The only IE I can find (which was me looking about 2 years ago) was IE5. Which by all accounts is really outdated.
Thanks for the help.

dont bother. they stopped making IE for mac like 6 years ago.
if you want to test for IE, you'll need access to a PC. or one of those online services that take screenshots for you in any kind of browser.

Thanks, thats what I thought. I just needed some more evidence for myself.
I didn't know if I was missing something.

I am just going to say this... QBN actually helped someone. Instead of trolls telling someone to well I don't know... fuck you candy, show me your tits... the usual shtuff.
Good 'on yah.

install parallels or vmware fusion. test in IE on windows. done.

seriously, from a professional point of view - you need a reliable test environment. IETester or MultipleIE are NOT reliable - you need to be using the same environment as your users. Browser shots dont reveal buggy hover/focus/selected bugs. Use a VM, or better yet, get an old crappy PC laptop for < £100/$100, install XP with IE8 (IE7 compat mode very closely = real IE7) and with IE6 (on the same machine) with remote desktop.
Then, on your mac machine - just use remote desktop to access BOTH simultaneously. Of course, this assumes your local dev server is viewable by the rest of the network (as in, the PC laptop).
Solid.
- Thanks. Probably dont do enough web to warrant getting all that.Knuckleberry
