  • 0

I have been using the IE9 Browser Version Rendering to do my IE cross browser testing on IE7 & IE8. My question is though, are the results that these versions return accurate to what a standalone version would be like?

The reason I ask is that I have created a site which works well across all browsers using the IE Browser Version Rendering but I have have recieved a screenshot of the site in a standalone IE7 version that looks really poor, for example the header tags which are basic 24px arial font are rendering terrible?

Regards
Kyle

    No, the IE9 emulations are not exact.

    You can use IETester to get a way better view (the rendering will be identical, but interactions such as searching, printing, opening new windows will not).

    For 100% of the old experience, turn to Microsoft’s VM images of old IEs.
