Hi guys,
Hopefully just a quick question.....
How do you guys test your designs in different browsers without having them all installed? Someone suggested IETester but that seems to be broken or atleast broken in windows 7......
Any suggestions?

If you're using Firefox, then IETab is always useful, read my article about firefox add-ons here: http://webdesigners-blog.blogspot.com.

Browser shots, and this: http://www.xenocode.com/browsers/
Requires a small plugin, but lets you run a whole host of desktop apps via the internet, (some virus scanners report a virus, and i can confirm this is a false positive)

But if you do, remember to renew your time slot if you have options that are estimated to run over the 30 minutes (guess who always forgets...)

Start your own thread thread, then maybe you'll get some answers

ie tester works fine for me - maybe you have some scripting or something that is beyond the emulation capabilities of ie tester
