Multiple IE Versions!
I'm still going through e-mail from last week and what I gem I found: A way to run multiple versions of IE on one PC! Get the scoop and the zipped standalone versions of IE here.
Thanks to Kevin Yank (Sitepoint) for including this in his weekly newsletter!
There are a few bugs that Kevin points out, but I agree that they are minor considering the major hassle it is to test Web pages on multiple versions of IE. In case you're interested, here are the bugs that Kevin points out in his newsletter. (If you want me to forward the issue to you, just leave a comment.)
- the About boxes will display Internet Explorer 6 information in the old About boxes
- using the Favorites menu can cause a system crash
- you need to use File > Open in IE4 because typing a URL in the address bar doesn't seem to work
Grab your standalone copies fast; I'm sure its only a matter of time before Microsoft drops a cease and desist letter on this guy.
Enjoy!

You don't have to worry about that. I just downloaded 4, 5, and 5.5. I'm sure version 4 will be a bit frightening though!
I wonder how web design will change now that web designers can reasonably and efficiently test their sites in multiple versions of IE. I know it will change my "testing" habits for the better.

Thanks for that great resource.
But please don't test any of my sites in IE 3!
