Hey everyone,

I have a mac. I cross-test the websites I make on Safari, Firefox, and Chrome. Even though, by the time I'm done with the first two, chrome is usually playing nice. Around the same time, over in IE-land, it usually looks like an angry gorilla just **** all over my website and I have no way to fix it.

Anybody know any good IE emulators that are useable on Macs? I found this one, but it has a lot of short-comings: http://ipinfo.info/n...derer/index.php

Thanks for the help.

Firefox has a good add-on called IE Tab Plus. I've found it good enough to use without having to resort to loading IE.

Hey, funny you should mention this as I was just thinking about it myself.

Apart from using obvious Adobe Browser Labs I use my friends installation of Virtu Box on his computer to check my websites in ie6. I also know that if you copy a bit of script
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://getfirebug.com/firebug-lite.js"></script>
into the head of your website you can load firebug into internet explorer 6 which is running on Virtu Box, which means you can figure out the problem without having to guess. It's pretty cool how it all works and is a really powerful tool for checking websites in ie6.

Hope this helped!
