Internet Explorer Website Support

I am developing a website that uses a lot of jQuery and I have found that making sure everything works with Internet Explorer is a pain. How do professionals deal with this problem?

I've had to do a lot of cross-browser compatibility and use jQuery too (though I don't find the two in conflict; I suspect that the problem lies elsewhere even if it manifests when jQuery is used).

Are you aware of IE's developer tools? (press F12) It works a bit like Firebug or Chrome's developers tools. Of course, it's not as good. But still, you can edit code live.

(If you'll describe the sort of errors you encounter, I may have some best practices.)

(jerluc has a point. Contiguous integration is a must -- but I assume you're already doing that.)

Usually, ad-hoc testing (test manually) is the best you can do. But, there are some tools that can leverage the work a little bit:

Here's tutti. Yeah, its GREAT:

And of course, Selenium:

Hope this helps. Cheers

Continuous integration. There's no reason to develop everything at once and test later. It's usually best to get into a develop-test, develop-test, develop-test, ... sort of pattern to your development cycle.

Additionally, be sure to read release notes on every library you use, as there is usually a list of known bugs which becomes invaluable as the development process goes on.
