TheTyke Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Just received the following information.Microsoft is rolling out its new Web browser, Internet Explorer 8, and warns site designers to get ready for some of the changes it will bring. "To promote further interoperability across the Web, Microsoft will be releasing Internet Explorer 8 to render content in its most standards-compliant way by default. This helps reduce the amount of custom code developers have to write on a browser-by-browser basis. However, content written for previous versions of Internet Explorer might display differently than intended". On a per-page basis, site owners can add the following new meta tag that will persuade the new browser to display the page as if Internet Explorer 7 was being used. <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" /> I've downloaded the IE8 Beta and I quite like it.At present just checking on of my test sites the only issue I've found was on order.php?step=1 where the "Add a new address" and the "Previous" buttons overlayed each other.I switched on the IE8 "Compatability View" and it rectified the issue.Hope this info is off use.
