Have you ever worked on a project and wondered what is supported by X Browser? I must ask myself this a hundred times a day. (especially nowadays with modern formats changing left and right) Well caniuse.com is a great resource I stumbled upon that helps to alleviate the headaches caused by trying to build a "stable" website while using new technologies. While it may not be the "ultimate solution," it certainly is one more valuable tool in your arsenal to combat browser problems!
Recommended for people testing the waters with HTML5!

Internet Explorer 6..who the heck still uses that?
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?!
download it here!!
