Installation
Follow these simple instructions to get IE7 working immediately on your server:
download the latest IE7 ZIP file
extract the contents to a directory on your server
include the IE7 JavaScript library in the HTML page you wish to test
<!-- compliance patch for microsoft browsers -->
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<script src="/ie7/ie7-standard.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<![endif]-->make sure this also points to the directory where IE7 was installed
open the page in your web browser
the page should now be IE7 enabled.
You may extract the contents of the ZIP file to your hard disk if you do not have access to a web server.
Troubleshooting
If things are not working as expected try doing the following:
- append
?ie7_debug=true
to the URL of your test page - refresh the page
- you will either get a message informing you of a successful load, or you will get an error message
- you can report errors on the IE7 Forum.
If you wish to debug IE7 yourself, link to the libraries in the src
directory.
