* Site or category restriction (results are tied to domain/sub-domain criteria or a specific content category)
* Minimum audience composition indices
* Minimum total U.S. unique reach
* Sites that accept advertising (estimated)
* Sites that are a “Quantified Publisher”

Ahh… the realities of a web soldier (designer/programmer/whatever you want to call them) - Internet Explorer. Just like a dream… Sometimes it’s a lot of fun and most of the time a nightmare.

So here’s a new tool to help us through the day aside from biting our fingers and pulling our hairs. IETester.

IETester is a free WebBrowser that allows you to have the rendering and javascript engines of IE8 beta 1, IE7 IE 6 and IE5.5 on Vista and XP, as well as the installed IE in the same process.

Multiple IE is cool but I didn’t have any luck installing it on Vista (*cough* $uckS *cough*).

Sigh, Internet Explorer. Can’t live with it, can’t live without it.
