Internet Explorer is by far the most widely used web browser, but unfortunately, is not w3c standards compliant, so you should test your website and how it looks on the current version and perhaps as far back as version 5 or 6 to maximize browser compatibility with your website.

Using the fantastic tool above located at Browser Shots  is an excellent way of testing how your website design looks accross different browsers and screens / platforms. It is an essential element of good website design that you test your website and how it looks or ‘renders’ in as many web browsers as possible.

You should also test your website out in:

* Netscape * Opera * Safari * Lynx * Firefox

Remember! it is impossible to design a website to look exactly the same in all browsers. So use standards compliant code. This ensures the future proofing of your website and puts the onus on web browser developers to make their applications standards compliant.
