Cómo instalar varias versiones de Internet Explorer en la misma pc
Como utilizo Firefox como base para trabajar, muchas veces me ha pasado que lo que se ve bien en Firefox, en Internet Explorer no se ve de la misma manera.
Cualquier diseñador web ha tenido que compatibilizar un diseño incorrecto para que se vea bien en Internet Explorer, reescribir partes de su hoja de estilo, crear hacks específicos, importar hojas de estilo para IE, etc etc. Y digo “diseño incorrecto”, porque muchas incompatibilidades se basan en la diferente implementación del modelo de caja en los navegadores.
Pero la cosa no se detiene ahi. Internet Explorer nos ofrece varias versiones de su navegador, y cada instalación sobreescribe las anteriores. Esto nos causa un problema, porque no es lo mismo IE7 que IE6.
Para solucionarlo, Tredosoft tiene un programa gratuito: MultipleIE , que instala todas las versiones de IE desde la 3 hasta la 6:
- Internet Explorer 3.0
- Internet Explorer 4.01
- Internet Explorer 5.01
- Internet Explorer 5.5
- Internet Explorer 6.0
La instalación es muy sencilla, yo tenía instalado IE7, conservó esa instalación y agregó las otras versiones:
Yo lo tengo instalado bajo Parallels, y me ha sacado de más de un apuro.
Muchas gracias a la gente de tredosoft
Muy buenas sugerecias. Es muy útil para los diseñadores.
Gracias por el dato!
Del putas! gracias por la info!
Hi there.
I noticed your comment on the MultipleIEs site, and was wondering if i could ask you a couple of questions about using it on a mac, before i buy one.
Unfortunately I do not speak Spanish, but I’d appreciate if you could maybe answer 2-3 questions, here or over email…
Thanks in advance.
Hi Adam!
yes of course, I can answer a your questions in english too ;)
Thanks, mate!
First of all, i’d like to know if its comfortable working with multiple IE’s with parallels desktop - Can you, for instance, view the same HTML file in Safari and in IE? Can you work on your regular HTML editor on the OS desktop, and check the effect in IE in real time?
Second, do you have any other recommendations for working on HTML/CSS on a mac? i’m moving from PC to mac soon, and looking for a good editor, and general tips.
Thanks,
Adam
Hey Adam,
In my opinion working with parallels and multipleIE in a mac is confortable, yes. Of course, is not the same speed/”feeling” as a native installation of IE in a bootcamp installation, or a pc running winows. But this is because of parallells, not multipleIE.
Yes, I can check the changes in real time in all the browsers, to do this I have installed MAMP (apache, mysql and php) in mac, I use the local apache server to place the files I’m working on. Then, from parallels windows, I can navigate using the mac local IP: http://192.168.1.100:8888/folder_of_site/file.html (in my case).
It is real time testing in every browser. I usually test in: IE7, IE6, Firefox PC, Firefox Mac, Safari.
The only catch: my multipleIE installation seems to have problems with cookies and sessions sometimes. I had problems with a recent development. But for desing testing is great.
Regarding your second question, I use the SkEdit editor: (http://www.skti.org/) wich works great for HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript.
I use Fireworks and illustrator for graphics, and MAMP (http://www.mamp.info/) as development environment.
I hope this info helps you!
by the way, I’ve been checking your site, and really liked your design style (sorry, but I have no hebrew knowledge) , good looking! :)
ok Adam, see you!
