I'm finally getting close on finishing my first site. I would like to test with different ie browsers. Not being a browser guru, how do people do that? Do they use a site like "browsershots.org" or do they actually have a bunch of different ones on their development system? Thanks!

I can't hear what I'm looking at.

That I can do . . . is there a way to make one the default? Also, what do you think about the link in the first post? It looks like it does all.

On a side note, how do you include the faces in a post? Ex. :cool: (preview shows this as :cool:)

ok, preview doesn't show it. It shows the colon sourrounded by "cool". I wasted some time trying to figure that out!:rolleyes:

Program I'm Using? This site (forums for smiles). VSD + Forms for the rest. I have purchased other stuff, but have yet to use them. All the latest releases.

Harold, in VSD got to the top menu and click Settings > Select Preview Browser.
You can choose your default browser plus add some others. :)

Edit... That is, add others you already have on your computer; VSD doesn't download them.
