Internet Explorer 6..who the heck still uses that?

internet explore 6 usage

From the W3C

Lots of people still use IE6, despite the fact that it came out in 2001!! That’s a whopping 9 years! Bottomline, ie6 users are not going anywhere, you must accommodate them!

Typical Internet explorer 6 user

The problem

Wow, where to begin. O I know lol, I hate Internet explorer 6. I found that a lot of my time developing websites was wasted testing the internet explorer series 7 and below to make sure there are no problems (along with a thousand conditionals for iftltIE) through various inefficient methods. Well finally there is a decent solution… enter IETester!

What does it do?

It allows you to test a website in all major versions of IE. Not only that but it has diagnostic tools within it to assist you with debugging and analysis. Simple problem, simple and elegant solution. Thanks DebugBar

What’s so great about it?

  • You can tab 5,6,7,8 all in one window!
  • Works on vista and 7
  • FREE!
  • No need to create a virtual box!
  • Once again NO NEED TO CREATE A VIRTUAL BOX!

Enough Talk! Where can I get it?!

browser resize plugin

The Problem:

I constantly have this problem where I have to resize my browser window to check my sites/designs/etc on multi monitors. Normally I use my nvidia control panel, or just the plain windows display control panel. The problem though is that my monitors are not normal 4:3, I have a 16:9,and a 1:1. Whenever I use the graphic card based resize my monitors freak out and stretch, flicker, and give warnings etc.

The solution?

This awesome browser window resizer plugin for FF. Its so simple and has a variety of sizes:
