Is there a tool to quickly run a short javascript in IE8, without having to run Internet Explorer?

Question

For example, I found that calling something like this

document.getElementByID('myElement').value.trim();

crash in IE8 because strings don't have trim() in IE8. Is there any way (e.g. using some website in the internet) to run such short, one-off code to verify issues like this without having to find a computer with Internet Explorer?

I use Browserling all the time to make sure html renders properly. I know it does run javascript, but that's in the cloud. The paid version has a feature called "bug hunter" but I don't know exactly what it does. They have a 30 day money-back guarantee so it might be worth trying it for a month. Or you could email them and ask.

Use the Developer tools in the newer versions of IE. Open IE (desktop mode) and press F12. In the toolbar, you can select the Browser Mode and the Document Mode.
