I'm looking for a way to inspect certain site elements in older IE versions, as I have noticed that the container of my site gets pushed to the right in IE8 and 9. In IE10 it is displayed correctly.
My way of viewing my site in older IE versions is while using IE-tab plugin for firefox. In this plugin there is however no debugging possible.
Is there any way to inspect site elements in older IE versions without having to install these older browsers?
Use IE. Go to the Tool Gear and go to F12 Developer Tools or Hit F12. Now go to Browser Mode. If you are using a Mac you may need Parallels. You should use IE itself.
