Also another option is to use the IE7 view in the IE8's developer tools, although I've heard this is not always 100%. The IE collection tool is also not accurate - I've had numerous problems, especially with IE6 not rendering the same when it is part of the IE collection.The tool we currently use is Multi-Browser Viewer - http://www.MultiBrowserViewer.com - it is a little more pricey but has virtualized standalone versions of IE6, IE7, IE8 and IE9 as well as most of the other web browsers. Plus it also does screenshots. Hi,

Its the easiest to use. THEN combined with conditional statements you can have a ie7 only .css file that contains only the changes needed from main stylesheet to fix IE7 issues (which will then work in IE8 which otherwise would be different again and require ANOTHER IE stylseheet!).Note: this code must go before the stylesheet. @muxed I’ve been using this for a long time with no side effects.
