Wonder how ? If you want to render a page or a website in all IE versions starting from 5.5, just try :

 

 

A Firefox extension can be found here.

To add the service to your website paste this code on the body :

<form method="post" id="form" name="form" action="http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/index.php"
accept-charset="utf-8" target="_blank">

<select name="browser" style="width: 145px;">

<option value="ie8">Internet Explorer 8</option>

<option value="ie7">Internet Explorer 7</option>

<option value="ie6" selected="selected">Internet Explorer 6</option>

<option value="ie55">Internet Explorer 5.5</option>

<option value="ie-mix">IE7-IE6 Mixed</option>

<option value="ie-diff">IE7-IE6 Difference</option></select>&nbsp;

<input name="url" id="url" value="http://" size="61" maxlength="240" type="text">

<input name="go" value="Render" type="submit">

</form>

You can also test your page in 23 browsers with litmus but you’ll have to pay (Only IE7 and FF2 rendering are free)
