OK dumb question, but I am entitled to my fair share :)

If I download and install IE6, will it overwrite IE5? Just want to have both on my machine for testing purposes.

IE6 will display very similar to IE5.5 when there is either no doctype present or a non-standards inducing doctype which then allows IE6 to run in quirks mode.

I have only witnessed one occasion where there was a difference between IE6 in quirk mode (simulating IE5.5) and the rendering by an actual version of IE5.5.

Here is refernce list that might help: [gutfeldt.ch...]
