Running IE7 On Linux

Posted Oct 17, 2007 by Jason Faulkner  

For you web developers out there who prefer to do you development utilizing Linux (and their significantly better development tools) over Windows, one common problem is the inability to test your applications in Internet Explorer. It is well known IE has many “quirks” which deviate from W3C standards and without the IE7 browser itself it is hard to test.

Instead of keeping a separate Windows box for testing these applications, try this nifty method for getting IE 7 to run on Linux. Even better, this trick allows you to run both IE6 and IE7 concurrently so in certain cases it may be better than having a Windows box itself.

Note: Make sure you read the comments as there is some evolution of the functionality since this post was made.
