I'm working on a macbook and want to test my sites on ie. I've installed vmware fusion and windows vista, everything works fine. So how do I do this? I can't figure out how to access my local site in ie. Also, can this be done using DW in OSX without going back and forth on Vmware?

Where can i find FAA testing sites for taking a private pilot knowledge test on the computer?
Calum, I don't think you should be "lol-ing" people for trying to help. Besides, there is no ietester for mac available yet, so you haven't helped either.
Anyway, I'm still struggling with this. Admittedly, I did have my local server set up wrong, so I can now view my site on my local server, but I still have problems in vmware. The screen I get when I go to localhost/8888 is the Apache screen which says I have my server set up correctly, but if I'm not seeing to site I expect to contact the server administrator. (I'll post screenshot when I get back to my laptop.) Any ideas anyone? thanks.

Eric, have you considered Parallels Desktop for Mac? I have a 2007 Macbook Pro which I run this software on. It essentially creates a virtual windows machine on your mac. I run windows XP right now with OSX 10.4.9. It is very helpful, because you have both platforms in one computer.
I did also find this the other day: Xenocode plugins. I have not tried any of the plugins out yet, but they do seems to have a good selection.

Yes, I'm familiar with Parallels. My understanding is I should be able to test my site in windows browsers with either parallels or vmware, which I already have. I think I have something set up wrong on my computer, and would probably make the same mistake with parallels too. Anyway, attached is a screen shot of what I get when I try localhost in vmware.

Wow, very cool! I just viewed a site in browsershots which I already knew was not showing in ie properly and, sure enough, it works! I'll bookmark that. Now I just need to figure out why the style sheet is not working in ie. But that can wait, I'm still working on the vmware/local server issue, for anyone else out there with ideas.
