How to test in IE with Linux

LinuxInternet Explorer-8

Linux Problem Overview

Normally I have two computers to work on - my development machine, running Ubuntu, and a testing machine that has Windows. The testing machine is in surgery, and I need to be able to test in IE8. Unfortunately I can't seem to get it to run under wine. I've tried the IE NetRenderer add-on for Firefox, but all it does is take a screenshot of the page. I have dynamic code (ajax) that I need to be able to test.

Any ideas?

Solution 1 - Linux

Don't bother trying to run it under Wine - such a test would be invalid anyway.

Just install Windows in a VM. It's easy.

Solution 2 - Linux

I'm on linux and using VirtualBox and various Windows images sourced from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/

They're supplying old windows versions with updated license which super seeds the default. Meaning you can restore an image back to its 30 day trail indefinitely.

I use the same system at work on OSX

Solution 3 - Linux

I've used this website very sparingly (when I didn't have a Windows machine with IE Tester). It eventually costs a subscription fee, but you can do a free trial, as well.
