Does IETester run the ACTUAL same code that existed for IE6 / IE7? Or is it an emulation?
cross-browser, internet-explorer-6, internet-explorer-7, internet-explorer-8
Solution
Experience had taught me that MultiIE/IETester et al, are never 100% accurate, when you're running other versions of IE.
I would run the VM versions to be 100% sure.
Problem
I just realized (yes, this was stupid of me) that IE8 Compatibility Mode is NOT IE7. All the time I assumed they would be switching back to the IE7 binaries, which apparently they aren't, as indicated by another question I found here in SO. My question is... Does anyone know how IETester works? Does it run the actual binaries for IE6/7? Can I trust it for my tests as being IE6/7? Or should I consider it a "close" thing, but actually test in actual VMs to be 100% sure? Thanks!
