hi all,

where can i get older browsers like IE5 or older netscape versions.

i have IE6-mozilla-new netscape version-opera.

i here loads of pure external css sites can go to peices in earlier versions of IE (box model) so want to test.

cheers Geoff

See this search list of previous threads [google.com], and especially this thread on installing multiple versions of IE [webmasterworld.com].

If all need them for is site checks, not sure it is worth the effort. There are a few sites out there that can preview them, but the fact is, older browsers have such a small market share (under 1.2% on our sites) I simply don't think it is worth the time to be backwards compatible with something that is over 5 years old.
