    I found this really nifty application called Comparator made by Vansath Dharmaraj -- it's basically a test browser with a split view: the top one is the page rendered in IE, the bottom one is the page rendered using Mozilla (which comes back to say Mozilla-powered browsers such as Firefox).

    That, along with Firefox extensions IE View and Web Developer makes coding websites compatible in both IE and Mozilla browsers a hell of a lot easier.

    This has already been done. The html renderer is available as a dropin replacement for MSHTML. Infact it is possible to make Outlook use gecko instead of MSHTML which I think is pretty funny.
