Is there a program or website that can show me what my website will look like in Internet Explorer 7? I know there's one out there, I just can't find it.

EDIT:Preferably a program.

A: 

Internet Explorer 8 :)

in developer tools you can set the browser.

Or online crossbrowsertesting.com you can check this site.

Best, Sinan.

You can run IE 7 under WINE with these instructions. If you aren't on Linux you can use VirtualBox to create a Ubuntu VM.

Is running IE7 under WINE on Linux a good indication? Can you really be sure it will behave exactly the same as in Windows?

Allows you to test several versions of all the major browsers, including MSIE.

This tool is nice for basic stuff, but unfortunately it doesn't let you login or test ajaxy stuff or any of the more advanced functionality.

IETester should do. Also for Internet Explorer 6.0 and 5.5. The latest version has added support for running on Windows 7, although it says it's still somewhat unstable.

If you only need to test IE7, IE8 does a decent job at that. Press F12 and select IE7 from the Browser Mode dropdown.

Actually the support Windows 7 been added in last version (version 0.3.5)

Fixed, and updated the URL as well. Wasn't exactly the page I had intended, but typing the full URL on my phone was a pain as it was :)

IETester is not a true test. It uses a variety of ie dll's and is a real mixed bag and crashes often. Far better to use the vhd's available on msdn

Didn't crash for me when I needed it, but it seems somewhat system dependent. I think it's nice to be able to do most of your testing without Virtual PC. To be sure, you could use virtualization to verify you're still on the right track every now and then.

Try Microsoft Expression Web SuperPreview:

"We built SuperPreview to simplify the process of testing and debugging layout issues across different web browsers and platforms. You can view your pages in multiple browsers simultaneously or view how a page renders in a browser and compare it to a comp or mock-up image of a page."

Browserpool has a free service where you can access a number different OS/Browser versions via VNC.

If you are on Windows you can always run Windows with IE as a virtual machine on your PC.
You need to install MS Virtual PC (it's free) and then download one of the IE App Compatibility VPC Images (also free). There are images with IE6, IE7 and IE8 installed.
The images have some time limit, but Microsoft keeps updating the files, so you can always download an image which will be valid for some months.
