In the past we have told you about several tools that will help you test your webpages in IE5.5, IE6, IE7 and IE8 on Windows XP and , you could also install a software to run IE on Linux boxes.

Microsoft has released a software (250 MB) called Expression Web SuperPreview which will help users to test their websites on different versions of Internet explorer.

Expression Web SuperPreview for Internet Explorer is a stand-alone visual debugging tool that makes it faster and easier to migrate your sites from Internet Explorer 6 to Internet Explorer 7 or 8. With Expression Web SuperPreview for Internet Explorer, you can ensure that your Web sites work correctly in Internet Explorer 8 while also maintaining compatibility with earlier versions of Internet Explorer.

Expression Web SuperPreview for Internet Explorer shows your web pages rendered in Internet Explorer 6 and either Internet Explorer 7 or Internet Explorer 8, depending on which version you have installed on your machine. You can view the pages side by side or as an onion-skin overlay and use rulers, guides and zoom/pan tools to precisely identify differences in layout. You can even compare your page comp to how the targeted browsers render the page.

To help you quickly identify problem elements, DOM highlighting shows absolute positions of the rendered elements and HTML elements display CSS properties.

Currently Expression Web SuperPreview is available for free and will definitely come in handy for designers and developers alike.

    If there is one thing I really desire, it would be the demise of Internet Explorer, in all its guises. Enough said! Firefox is my browser of choice, and I really haven’t looked back since switching over. Convincing people to take the leap is difficult though, as mankind’s innate fear of the unknown exhibits itself strongly when it comes to web browsers!
