The mootools team released the stable version of 1.2 this week. I am very excited about this. We will be updating the hoverfx script and add some new tutorials over the next few weeks. Until then check out Mootools 1.2
but we are still forced to test our websites for it. I just stumbled on a program that may make IE testing 1000000 times easier! Its called IE Tester http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage
It gives you the ability to add new tabs and define what browser to display in individual tabs.
My friend just showed me this other program as well. It allows for more versions of IE, again its PC only. http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE
Alas, I found a program that does the same thing for OS X http://www.kronenberg.org/ies4osx/
Check them out… I’m going to start using the Multiple IE on my windows and the other one on my apples.
