IETester

IETester is a free web browser specifically designed for testing web sites in Internet Explorer including IE 8 beta, IE 7, IE 6, IE 5.5 on both XP and Vista.

ike any web browser, IETester has the usual forward and back buttons, refresh, stop, home, and favorite buttons, but it also has a special feature that allows you to launch new tabs which render the web site in different versions of IE.

With IE8's public beta just around the corner, web site owners need to verify that their sites are going to display properly in the new browser, which runs in standards-compliant mode by default. You can download IETester for free (donations accepted).

Download:

IETester v0.2.2 (link 1) | 23.8MB (Freeware)

IETester v0.2.2 (link 2) | 23.8MB (Freeware)

Though it unlikely anyone using this would be in this situation, but an XP set-up still with IE 6 {that is not upgraded the default instance to IE 7} has problems using this, also there's no Flash support for the IE6 instance.

Why limit the testing to just IE? Test your web design in different browsers

Browsershots makes screenshots of your web design in different browsers. It is a free open-source online service. When you submit your web address, it will be added to the job queue. A number of distributed computers will open your website in their browser. Then they will make screenshots and upload them to the central server here.

Reimar and Rice King, thank you both! This is very useful information for me.

Now just show me the website that rewrites my CSS files for me so that the pages load pixel perfect in every browser.

My thanks, too. I had lost the browsershots link and have sorely missed it. I also like the benefit of Reimer's recommended software: to be able to test locally without needing the always precarious internet access we have here in Thailand.
