Several version of Internet Explorer.

[Mr. X.]

Hello.
I need to check that my site works on some old versions of Intenet Explorer
(even more ... old netscape).
Explorers versions that are common now (say from IE5.5. I don't think I
should consider about IE 3).

1. Is there any site, that I can do the check (that simmulates exactly the
versions of IE, with no need of install the old versions) ?
2. When I install old versions, they overwrite the new version - I need
stand-alone old version - Where they are some ?
3. What are still the popular old IE versions ? (Also IE, netscape, mozila,
etc ...) ?

Thanks

I need to check that my site works on some old versions of Intenet Explorer

Nor 4, nor 5, and personally, I've stopped checking my sites in 5.5 as
well. So far, no client has complained.

3. What are still the popular old IE versions ? (Also IE, netscape, mozila,
etc ...) ?

No idea if any of the really old ones are still popular, outside IE6.
I think IE is the only browser that people fail to update. For example
anyone still using Netscape 4, should have updated by now - I wouldn't
try and check browsers that are simply too old.

Thanks ...

For www.browsercam.com
Is any other free site (with no much limitation ...) ?
I should consider to download once all the versions,
which seems better.

Thanks

Run by volunteers - offers a paid "priority" service, but the basic service
is free with, as far as I can tell, no limitations.

You need to check site in many browsers and many versions of browsers (pc
browsers, mac browsers, mobile browsers and all versions). It is very hard
job. You can find some info at: http://longurl.net/CheckBrowsers.aspx
