IE8 vs IE9 Compatibility

Question

I'm required to test a website using IE 9 but I'm blocked when IE 9 can't be installed using Wine because Wine only supports Windows XP. I resort to install IE 8. I'm going to run the website and hoping some layouts will not be distorted.

My question is will it be sufficient to test the website on IE 8? Will there be no problems when opening it on IE 9 upon the website deployment?

Answer 1

No, it is not sufficient to only test a website on IE8. IE8 is old and quite different from IE9 and IE10 in many ways.

Answer 2

No, it is not sufficient. Hosting a website means you need to check compatibility not only with IE, but also with all web kit browser versions.

You asked about IE8 vs IE9. These two are entirely different, so it's not enough to check the compatibility in IE8 alone.

If you want to do cross platform and IE version compatibility, there are a lot of online tools.

Where 3rd section is downloadable, it will check the IE version compatibility check.
