When I preview my website using the VSD default browser is VSD using a browser that is a part of the software or the default browser I have set up in my computer? It seems that the VSD default preview browser is different version 6 versus version 7.

Thanks,

Yeto, VSD uses your system default browser. You can change which browser it uses by clicking on the arrow next to preview and adding a browser or selecting one that's already been added.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Version 6.0 used to have a built-in browser that was based on IE 6. With version 7 we removed that and now just use your OS default browser.

Please add the built-in browser back. VSD will preview in the last open browser window and cause me to lose what was on that page (sometimes that is okay and sometimes not) then I have to hit the back button and open another browser . . . -- you know the process. Or at least have it open in a new window.

VSD is still the best that I have found for my needs.

Sorry, but that has been deleted and burned. ;)

Using your default browser is actually the best method for testing as it gives you a true preview in a real browser. Going back to IE 6 as a preview would be worse. ;)
