IE 6 and IE 7 on the same computer - possible ?

[tobiaseichner]

I wonder if it is possible to run IE 6 and IE 7 on the same Win XP computer ? I would need this on one particular for testing purposes, but there after IE 7 has been installed, IE 6 disappeared.

Is there a way to achieve this or a trick to set IE 7 to some kind of fallback simulating IE 6 behavior ?

I don't think that it is possible...

Doesn't work on vista though.

This is what old computers are for- breaking the code that works on your modern computer.

The best way to test code that you want to release to the wilds of the Internet is on an old, tired machine with the previous os and browser versions.

Thanks for the links :-)

I also have found one here: http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/
It will render a webpage into an image, unfortunately just the first part of long pages, but sufficient for small test drives.
