在线 Internet Explorer 模拟器

(试图寻找相似的问题/重复,失败)

我在 Mac 上冲洗。我爱我的 Mac。我使用 Chrome,Firefox 和 Safari 开发。我爱他们的理由各不相同。

但我也必须为 Internet Explorer 用户开发。

我知道,我不是这里唯一的一个。

我喜欢使用 webkit 检查器/firebug 来扰乱 CSS。我在测试 ie6-8时发现的最大问题之一是无法在运行时编辑 CSS。在虚拟机或实际的个人电脑上来来回回,尝试用 CSS 做一些事情,在 IE 中保存、重新加载,失败和重复,导致了缓慢的开发过程。

那么,回到我真正的问题。

是否有适用于各种 Internet Explorer 版本的在线模拟器/模拟器?使用 IE 引擎以某种方式呈现页面,但仍然允许我使用我的检查器的东西?

这有可能吗?

Something like BrowserShots?

Just stick with the virtual machine: If you're running Internet Explorer 8 you'll be able to activate the developer window using F12. There you're able to edit CSS as well as HTML on the fly without saving/reloading the page.

Adobe Contribute provides a snapshot service also, but it's not free.

Here's the developer toolbar for IE 6 and 7.

You could try Firebug Lite

It's a pure JavaScript-implementation of Firebug that runs directly in any browser (at least in all major ones: IE6+, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Chrome)

You'll still need the VM to actually run IE, but at least you'll get a quicker testing cycle.

I just realized that there's yet another option. I've heard a lot of good things about this service: Litmus Alkaline.

"Alkaline tests your website designs across 17 different Windows browsers right from your Mac desktop in seconds. No need for virtual machines, Windows licenses, or any messing around with Windows Update."

Have you tried this: IE NetRenderer

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. Invest in your success.

It really works great, but you only have 30 minutes/month for free.

For 19$/month you have unlimited time.

By way of reference, here is another screenshot rendering tool: https://browserlab.adobe.com/

It also does a number of other browsers and platforms as well, and provides a few nice little options like onion skinning etc.


Note: It seems that recently Internet Explorer 6 was removed, which makes it considerably less useful :S

Use wine - it has IE6 with Gecko support built into it. More information here.

Here is another idea for you. It is also online w/ no download. It uses window 7 + ie9 with no flash support though ie9 online

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 http://virtualbox.org

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 ...

You dont need to buy Windows for this as long as you dont test longer than one month - when testing time is expired it is not tragic at all, you simply can repeat a new testing-time ...

This looks trivial but with virtualbox you have a real-time-testing-area in this case with IE - no matter which version of IE !
