Hi. I'm using Firefox 3 and am starting to get more into web development as its now a module in my uni course and it has really interested me, so I want to put some serious effort into learning more about it. I work on a Mac, and with so many users using IE I want to be able to efficiently preview my pages in IE. IETab would've been perfect for this, but clearly since I'm on a Mac and can't have IE installed on my machine IETab doesn't work for Mac Firefox. Are there any solutions for this or will I just have to have my boot camp partition loaded up through VMWare whenever I'm designing my web pages?

You can install wine on your Mac, and should be able to use that to run IE.

Doesn't wine only work in Leapord? Sorry, should've mentioned I'm still on Tiger.

Doing a quick google search suggests that Wine can be installed on Tiger. It may require installing X11 first, though.
