And this is IEs4Linux, written , and concerning Howtos, Linux
Testing web stuff in Internet Explorer is an unfortunate necessity. It's a lot easier if you go get IEs4Linux, which with one command installs IE5, IE5.5, and IE6 on Linux using Wine. Nice.
The latest beta version is easier to install (graphical rather than command-line) and also installs IE7 (in a rather hacked weird way); when it goes stable I shall be using it!
Good work Sérgio Luís Lopes Júnior!

hendrik: worked fine for me at about six hours ago when I used it. ;)

Thanks for your response!
A very cool and more convenient alternative for testing the rendering of a webpage is the IE NetRenderer .
But with regard to test interactive content, ies4linux is obviously the best choice for linux webdesigner.

And kudos also surely to evolt.org's Browser Archive, which I help maintain, as IEs4Linux wouldn't work without it.

neuro: really? I thought it was getting it from MS. Nice one you and the evolt archive, then!

IEs4Linux has saved my arse many a time when I had to test something in IE and I was running Linux. I tried an early beta that was supposed to install IE7 but it I could never get it working. If it saves me having to run a VM just to have Windows running on the off chance I;ll need IE then this is certainly the way to go.

I am getting a message the HTML Rendering is Disabled after I launch ie from wine. I click install to install the moz engine. Any help on that?
TIA,
Mike
have you tried to install the programm recently? in my case, the script doesn't work and the site, on which the files are stored, seems to offline.
