IETester

IETester is a free web browser debugging tool that can simulate different js engines to help programmers design code with uniform effects. IETester can help us simulate the compatibility of web pages in browsers such as IE5.5, IE6, IE7 and IE8 beta1. Let us see whether the CSS styles or website layouts we have worked so hard to display can be displayed normally in various major browsers. IETester uses a "paginated tab" method to display the web browsing screen of the IE browser version you specify in different tabs. In addition, the software interface presentation method similar to Office 2007 is also quite modern and easy to use. Most of the commonly used buttons are listed directly on it. IETester is an essential tool for web designers. Friends who need it can download it and use it.

​​ 2. A new page will appear at this time. We can see a number 8 on it, which means that this is the IE8 version mode. We enter the website we want to test and open the website. We can see whether the website is deformed, shifted, and other compatibility issues.

IETester FAQ

How does IETester open a local test file?

IETester, use the left button of the mouse to click [New IE Versions] and copy the URL in the browser directly to IETester. After clicking OK, all versions of IE will display "Unable to display webpage text". At this time, you need to find the cs.html file, right-click on the properties, and copy the path. Add cs.html and click OK to see the effect in each browser version.

IEtester cannot test ie7 in win7. What should I do if ie7 cannot open the local page?

Method 1: Options -> Options -> Advanced Options -> Remove the "Run in multi-process mode" option;

Method 2: First enter the URL hierarchy (upper-level directory) of the local file in the IE7 address bar of IEtester. IE7 will open the folder where the file is located and display the files in it. Then enter the file name and press Enter. At this time, IE7 will load the local HTML file.

Minimum requirements: Windows Vista or Windows XP to install IE7 version (if IE6 version is installed, IE6 under Windows XP has some minor problems, and IE7/IE8 version cannot run under this configuration).
