Check out IETester:

Answer 2

The other options are:

• Use a non-virtual machine (inefficient)
• Use one of the hacks to install multiple versions of IE side-by-side (unreliable, especially when it comes to JS testing).

A virtual machine is the right way to go.

Answer 3

My suggestion would be: use IETester . Also see this topic for more suggestions: Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 on same computer for debugging

Answer 4

IETester允许您在一个程序中尝试IE 5.5、6、7和8，而几乎没有限制。

Answer 5

您可以使用IE测试仪 。

Answer 6

IE Collection is another option for you. I have only been using it for about a week, and the IE6 menu interface is a bit buggy, but so far JavaScript and CSS behave consistently with my other PC which has IE6 on it. It will let you install several older (pre-6.0) versions as well.
