All Going one day into the adventure of the Internet by creating their own Web pages were at one time or another facing a major problem, the compatibility of their websites with a maximum of Internet browsers. This problem especially recurring with different versions of Internet Explorer browser. Indeed, the browser has always tended to be erratic with the interpretation of HTML and some webmaster has spent many sleepless nights trying to make their code compatible. A tool is now ready to assist in installing all versions of Internet Explorer on your PC to make compatibility checks much simpler: MultipleIEs.

If the browsers Opera and Firefox have always tended to follow web standards for code (W3C recommendations (in)), the browser of Microsoft Internet Explorer has always put his side in trouble for using specific codes ( unrecognized by other browsers) and / or manager does not HTML codes accepted without problems in other browsers.

Indeed, a website developed using the IE browser could have made a really different in Firefox and Opera, offset tables, style sheets (CSS) not properly read what the effect of nullifying or completely distort the design of a Web page. Note however that Microsoft has made great efforts to the latest version of the browser (IE 7.0) in improving the lot of this view.

Every web developer should therefore make compromises in the code so that maximum users can view their site properly.

Thus, every change to a page requires a small check to verify that the page will be viewed by all browsers as the developer wishes.

The software MultipleIEs is a great help in this case because it allows for just this verification in five different versions of Internet Explorer.

- Internet Explorer 3.0

- Internet Explorer 4.01

- Internet Explorer 5.01

- Internet Explorer 5.5 (still widely used in the business world, especially networks based on Windows NT 4.xxx as with France Telecom, for example)

- Internet Explorer 6.0 (this version is still widely used by all those who have not made the upgrade to IE 7.0 and still represents approximately 50% of browsers used by visitors Keroinsite).

With this software, it is easy to test your site or page set simultaneously opening all versions of Internet Explorer as below (IE 5.5, IE 6.0 and IE 7.0).
