Any good way I can test css in IE6/IE7 (PC rendering) on a Mac without going through the trouble to do it through bootcamp? šŸ˜• Thanks. ---

I use this sometimes (but now I VNC into a PC box), you can install all major versions, but the rendering isnā€™t 100% true [http://www.kronenberg.org/ies4osx/](http://www.kronenberg.org/ies4osx/) ---

Yeaā€¦ thats a last resort IMO, too slow for debugging IE problems, usually you have to make several small adjustments before you find the true answer ---

VMware, Virtual PC, Parallelsā€¦ Also there is a fork of Wine for Macs, which I forget the name of. Look up Wine in Wikipedia and it should point you there. I remember seeing IE6 running in Mac natively. ---

**[DarWine](http://www.kronenberg.org/darwine/)** You also need it to run that ies4osx app i posted above ^^ [COLOR=SeaGreen]\ ***edit: different link, old link pointed to x86, and PPC builds, new link points to a page with Mac Intel builds** [/COLOR] ---

That ies4osx doesnt render 100% accuratelike faster mentioned since OSx doesnt have directx support it will not render pngs with when using the htc hack with css. Just wanted to let you guys know that the only way is with either bootcamp, parallels or vmware. ---

well, theres the png issue, and the fact that it is like 6.45254987259% off in terms of replicating EXACTLY how the real IE renders CSS
