This is kind of ridiculous.īut, now there is a very, very nice solution to this problem that every Mac-oriented web developer should know about: ies4osx This solution uses darwine (☗0Mb), a wine version for OS X, using X11 and allows you to install IE 5, 5.5, 6 and even IE7. Since every images takes about 5 Gb of disk space, I just wasted 10 Gb of disk space to test web apps with Internet Explorer. My only option seemed to run two Parallels sessions, one with IE6, the other with IE7. But this in itself presented me with a problem: you can’t, without nasty hacks and a lot of trouble, run IE6 en IE7 side-by-side. I used Parallels for a while to run an instance of Windows XP to test with IE. But Internet Explorer is always a problem. I can test apps with FireFox, Safari and Opera without problems. Now, as a good Rails developer, I’m using a Mac. But, if you develop apps for Windows users, you’ll have to test your app with Internet Explorer. As a web developer, you probably know all about browsers.
