Hey guys,

Just moved over from windows to mac and found out that you can't actually install ie, which you can all appreciate is a pain in the ass.

I found some ie tab extension however they don't work on mac osx. Is there one that does? Would be great if you could link me to one or give me a good alternative.

Thanks guys!

Andre

IE doesn't run on a mac, so there's no way for it to know and display how a page would render.

You could look at running some virtualisation software and in it a copy of windows and IE. Personally I've got an old Windows laptop that I fire up whenever I need to do some testing with IE or windows versions of the other browsers that sometimes render pages differently to their mac counterparts!
