Hi, Normally I''d just give this a try and see what happens. I''m under a bit of a time crunch at the moment, though, and can afford the loss if Windows barfs. I''ve got IE7 but need to test my CSS in IE5 & IE6. Can I have multiple versions of IE on my system? If so, are there any gotcha''s avoid? Thanks. And sorry for the noise.
