Hi.  Apart from using Parellels, Virtual PC, buying Windows 7, etc, is there a free way to inspect or check my dreameaver site in internet explorer while on my apple mac or macbook?  Doesn't Adobe have some way of letting mac users check IE compatibility with CS5 dreamweaver sites?

 

CS5, CS5.5

Macbook 10.5, Macbook 10.6, Macbook 10.7

 

Thanks!!!

    Hi jaynew16,

     

    I'm a little hesitant to answer this because it almost seems like a trick question You posted this in the forum for Adobe BrowserLab, a web-based tool for cross-browser webpage compatibility testing. There is currently no charge for using it, and you should be able to test any public webpage by doing the following:

    1. Go to https://browserlab.adobe.com
    2. Register with your Adobe ID
    3. Click on Browser Sets and choose which browsers you want to test
    4. Click on Test and enter your URL into the entry field
    5. Press Enter and screenshots of your URL will be returned which you can view singly, side-by-side, or overlaid

     

    If your site isn't public, we offer Dreamweaver and Firefox integration pieces that allow you to test pages behind your firewall. Turn on the extension in Dreamweaver by going to Window > Extensions and selecting Adobe BrowserLab. Make sure your version of Dreamweaver has all the latest updates, and you should be good to go for testing pages directly from your machine.

     

    Let me know if you have any further questions,

    Mark

    Oops!  It was late.  That's my excuse anyway.  But thank you!! 

    I thought I was posting on a general Adobe forum, not realizing BrowserLab existed. 

    Maybe it's just me, but it seemed pretty difficult to find out through google and other search engines that a thing like browser lab exists. 

    Thanks again.
