I have recently switched over to a mac and am not sure how to test my latest project on IE6/7. I can start up parallels and test the live site, but that will be rather painful to make updates until everything is just right. Not to long ago I found something, ies4osx, but it didn''t seem to work on my machine for loading sites through localhost. Thanks for the advice. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

You fire up Paralles and point your browser to the host''s (the Mac) IP address on your internal network. Remember to include the port number (typically 3000) that your mongrel or webrick is running on. This is how I do it. I have one parallels vm with IE 6, Safari 3, and FireFox, and another with IE 7, Safari 3, and Firefox (so I can test Safari and/or FF in either VM). I''m planning on adding Opera at some point. I''m also going to add a VM or two for (K)Ubuntu so i can do quick tests on Konqueror and Galeon (or whatever the Gnome browser is called). I know the market share for some of these other browser''s is pretty small, but I''d like to say that the sites I create work well in them. I support IE because I *have* to. I support the others because I *want* to.

I didn''t think that parallels could do that, but that will work nicely.

And with the new OS X virtual desktops ("Spaces") it''s easy to just park a Windows VM or two in a dedicated Space for testing.

What are the parallels settings that you guys use to access localhost:3000? I finally got around to installing another virtual xp, but am unable to get get anything when trying to open the page.

I just checked my two VMs, and one is bridged and the other is shared, so that doesn''t seem to make a difference.

I guess you have to pay for the license for the copy of Windows you run in the VM. That sucks.

Want a free way to test for IE quirks? Wait for people using IE to use your site and let them complain about all the quirks.

No-one else seems to have mentioned it, but there is always Multiple IE: http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE Lets you install multiple copies of IE in one copy of Windows, given that you *might* have to pay a license for each VM copy of windows you use this could be more cost-effective.
