It doesnt work in IE7 (stuck on this browser at the University Library, so no alternative). The progress indicator keeps going.


Sorry, I didn't try with IE7 :-/ I could just put my hands on an old IE6 version to test the render. I'll definitely install a virtual machine or smthg :-) Thanks for the report.


Check out browsershots - http://browsershots.org/ . I think you can submit a job to check how a page renders on a specific OS-browser combination. Otherwise you can download and check it out - it's open source.


Wow, where has that been all my life?

Thanks a lot for that tip - that's going to come in really handy.


Test it IE6 and IE7 on the same machine: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/11/30/ie6-and-ie7-runn...

Yes, it's a pain b/c you have to run a VM, but it's the most reliable way of testing IE. Other "shortcuts" won't perfectly emulate IE7 in an IE6 environ, or vice versa.


Thanks for the link!
