Can I run IE 6 or 7 on ubuntu 7.10 ?

[Be_frank]

Hi,

I installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my machine. As I am in web designing field I need to check my designed site in different browsers. Is there any tool for Ubuntu 7.10, so that I can run Internet Explorer on my Ubuntu & check my site's compatibility in IE?

Plz help me.......

An alternative could be to run a virtualbox (virtualbox.org) installation of XP for such things. Virtualbox is stable, easy to set up and use and the performance is in my opinion surprisingly good, although it would depend on your setup of course.

You can install IEs4Linux, refer this page (http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation:Ubuntu)
Prerequisite: wine and cabextract to be installed

i know you can run ie 6, i don't know if 7 is supported yet, look for ies4linux they have a script that installs everything you need.

IE6 and IE7 can both be run through wine. I believe IE6 is actually installed by defualt when you install wine. This goes for almost any windows application so you could install the windows version of safari if you want to test that as well.
