Testing for IE7
With IE7 about to be pushed out to millions of computers, I realized I need to test some sites and make sure everything looked okay. But I don’t want to lose IE6 in the process. I found a stand alone version of IE7 RC1. For some reason, I am not too worried about Firefox 2.0. They haven’t made huge changes in CSS, which is what scares me about IE7. Surprisingly, all the sites I have built recently looked fine in IE7. I haven’t employed any IE specific hacks, mostly just adding extra divs or other unnecessary markup.
While researching this, I also stumbled across IEs4Linux. I haven’t had a chance to install it yet, but will in the next couple of weeks. Now, if the developer adds IE7 to the list, that is one less reason for me to fire up my Windows box.
