Fairly Realistic

Jon Galloway has setup a great batch script for running IE7 in stand-alone mode. If you want to start testing IE7 with XHTML, CSS and JavaScript but don’t want to lose IE6 then I highly recommend Jon’s script. The only caveat with IE7 in stand-alone mode is that you cannot have the IE Developers Toolbar installed (not even in IE6). If you have it installed then IE7 will hang every time you get a dialog box. I ran into that problem when I told IE to allow scripts to run locally and was unable to click Yes.

Jon has all the directions that you’ll need on his blog so check them out there.

You can download IE7 Beta 2 from Microsoft’s site.

Thanks Jon!
