Recently I helped design a very simple website, however, I encounter the annoying compatibility problem, as I designed the web pages using some DIV and CSS, and the pages are rendered as expected in firefox (Good Job!), minor differences in IE8 (Still Fine), however, there are problems viewing them in IE7 (Frustrating), and earlier versions of IE (WTF): the layout totally turned out terrible messy.
Yes, we can simulate IE7 in IE8 (Press F12 will enter debug mode), however, there seems no way to simulate IE6 online. Do we need to install IE6 to test? NO!
Microsoft has released a compatibility pack called VPC, but you may find the image size just a bit huge, isnt it?
Well, I dont want to download that, after some searches, I found this tool useful, namely MultipleIEs, which will install all versions of IEs on your PC, as it claims but I doublt they are not IEs that are installed but some compaitbility packs also, but never mind, it is definitely a very very useful tool, especially for web designers.
