Even if they're on IE7, get them to go to IE8. Less buggy, and it has a js debugger.
Your family probably doesn't need a debugger. Get them onto Chrome. They'll love the new UI, and it'll silently auto-update so you won't have to upgrade it again.

The people who develop for the browsers that your family is using do need a debugger.

#42Everyone take this time while visiting family to upgrade their browser to something other than IE6. I did my part last night.
My mother got a netbook and I told her chrome was her new browser because it was faster.
(No lies and No IE)

Best way to do this is to re-label IE "DO NOT USE" and re-label FF/Chrome/Seamonkey "Internet".

I'm certainly not saying don't use something other than IE. Just some people won't. IE8 is better than IE7.
Please don't. Please get them off the IE stack and onto a browser with a rendering engine developed by a company with an incentive to improve the web. Chrome, Firefox, Safari - all are good. Please dump IE.
