As the introduction of IE7 looms on the horizon, bringing yet another IE/Win version to the current list of browsers that web pages must be checked in, it would be great to have the ability to easily test on all these browsers. We've discovered that we can target different IE/Win browsers using Conditional Comments (CC), but up until recently testing in multiple versions of IE required several computers, or some special software instead.
This is no longer the case. It's now possible to have IE3, IE4, IE5, IE5.5, and IE6 all working at the same time on one Windows computer! In this tutorial we'll describe how to install and label several versions IE/Win on a single computer. We'll also make a registry adjustment that will allow CCs to work properly on these newly installed browsers. Onward!
