![]() ![]() Dec 1, 2014 - Web development can be a complicated business. We now live in a world where a responsive website is absolutely essential. Not only that, but. I use Windows XP SP3. I love it, wouldn’t change it for the world, but I want to use advanced versions of IE. I need an emulator. I am up to the limit: IE8, and Windows XP is not designed for IE9 or 10. I need a freeware emulator, so that I can run IE9 or 10. Help me get one, I cannot find any. (Tried to find simular questions / duplicates, failed) I develop on a mac. I love my mac. I develop using Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. I love them all for different reasons. But I have to develop for Internet Explorer users as well. I know, I am not unique here. I enjoy using the webkit inspector / firebug to mess with CSS. One of the biggest issues I've found when testing ie6-8 is the inability to edit CSS on the fly. The back and forth to a VM or an actual pc, trying something in CSS, saving, reloading in IE, failing, and repeating, leads to a slow development process. So, on to my actual question. Is there any sort of online emulator/simulator for various internet explorer versions? Something that somehow renders the page using the ie engine, but still allows me to use my inspector? Is this even possible? I've been using IE Tester (good) but didn't know I could simply switch versions in IE. It's nice to know the browser voted 'Most likely to be the bain of your existence' has the tool built in to look at previous versions. The down side to IE Tester is it does not support javascript well, and also doesn't always do a great job with iframes. (Yes, I still use them.) I decided that since Google and Facebook no longer support IE7, I won't either. I have a lot less funding than they do. I know this doesn't fix the need to use VM for MAC users, but there should be ways around that too. With an 8 core processor PC computer, you can VM MAC with 4 cores, same for PC, and run 4 displays, two for each OS. Expensive, but this is our business. In most business models, it is not uncommon to spend tens of thousands of dollars on equipment. We shouldn't think of ourselves any differently. Photoshop for windows 10 if you had photoshop on a mac. Invest in your success. If you have enough space on your hard-disk in your OS-X of Apple, then you could install virtualbox for Mac-OS-X after download at Then you would need 'only' 100 GB to create with this virtualbox as virtual harddisk. Then install for intentions of tests simply for 1 month-free-testtime a Windows of your choice - Vista or 7 or 8 - together with internet explorer.
