How to test Nescape 5 and 6 1

[serpento]

I want to know which versions of IE and Netscape my new website displays correctly in so I can tell users which verson they need. Do you know where I can get early versions of these browsers so I can test them?

With internet Explorer you need to have an old OS like Windows 95 on a partition and get an install package of the older browsers.

Netscape though offers archived versions :

I recommend you do not support anything below 6.0 version of Netscape. Not only is NS4 declining really fast see numbers here (

but it will waste 80% of your developement time.

Notice in the stats NS6 does show up as Netscape 5.0
