Web developer tested by multiple browsers

Browser | Web page a challenge for Web developers is to test their web pages in a variety of different browsers. Because it's not enough to just make sure your Web page is displayed in your favorite browsers-you have to test your Web page in all possible Web browsers to make sure it shows up properly. If you work on an open Web site, you will also need to test in different versions of the browser.

Because of the need for testing, it is normal for Web developers to install several browsers on their machines, such as Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, and Opera.

For a good test system, in addition to installing the current versions of these browsers, you will need to install different versions of the "mainstream" browser. Looking for an older version of the browser installation software, saving a variety of mainstream browsers is a challenge, and windows use of IE browser is more challenging than others. Even if you have an older version of the browser installed on your machine, when you install the new version of the browser, it will replace the old version, leaving only a new version. Also, if you have a new computer configured as a test system, you must have an older version of the browser installation tool.

The online community provides the most comprehensive browser installation file. It includes various versions of opera and IE, as well as many other versions of the browser.

Netscape retains its own browser's various old versions on its homepage.
The SillyDog701 site also retains all the old versions of Netscape's browser.
Mozilla.org provides a variety of latest browser versions of the information, you can page to the bottom to find its old version of the link.

To avoid overwriting the old version of the same browser, you will need to choose a custom installation instead of accepting the default typical installation, so you can be sure to install the new version of the browser path.

IE's problem. Until now, there is a similar problem with installing multiple versions of IE on a single machine, because IE is integrated into the Windows operating system. Generally speaking, you cannot install more than one version of IE in a given Windows operating system.

As a result, many Web developers will be using several Windows machines to install different IE editions to test their web pages. Another solution would be to install a special VMware-like software that would create multiple virtual machines, which would allow you to install different versions of IE on a single computer.

For the Eolas lawsuit, Microsoft reacted as follows: It allows developers to develop the characteristics of IE and eolas patent different, one of the most interesting thing is the test version of IE, it can be with the official version of IE to coexist on the same machine.

Joe Maddalone,insert, the web designer of title, found a file (iexplore.exe.local) that allows you to run more than one IE version browser on a single machine at the same time. There's also a corporate web designer, Ryan Parman of skyzyx.com, who packs different versions of IE's file iexplore.exe.local and the core files for that version of the browser. These stand-alone versions of IE can be found on his download page. To install a stand-alone version of IE, you only need to unzip the zip-format Compression pack and put them in a separate directory on your Windows test system. (as long as the main IE version of the path is not possible). If you want to run a single computer IE, just open the directory, and double-click the Iexplore.exe file can be.

Thanks to the contributions of Maddalone and Parman, Web developers can easily install different versions of IE on their machines, so that their test work becomes very simple.
