Which problems you mean?
]]>That said, i’d much rather develop for IE8 than IE7 or IE6 — except for one thing — every time I install IE8 I have to disable VISUAL STYLES on form elements: submit buttons are tiny! How could they release IE8 when something like this DOESN’T WORK!? The average user is probably gonna mooch over to Google.com and search a few things here and there and rarely think about browser functionality. EXCEPT when they can’t see their ‘search’ and ‘are you feeling lucky’ buttons!
So, overall, “IE8 is better, but still awry!” I say.
Hold on, anyone here got a horrible sense of déja vu?? I’m guessing this was pretty much how IE7 was welcomed out. Same old same old with IE.
Anyway, I live in hope:
“The World Wide Web is broken for all IE users!”
“Web developers have refused to develop for Internet Explorer. This means the vast majority of websites appear broken, in some cases illegible. It is recommended that users of the World Wide Web go to http://www.firefox.com and download the latest version of their browser.”
]]>a third!!? where you getting these stats homeslice?
]]>I was really optimistic about the arrival of IE8 and the CSS compatibility but after a few days of testing I was disappointed to find that the new version had a laundry list of its own problems.
I will still do my best to develop and design for the new version but I can think of better things to do with my time rather than spend every moment creating special style sheets for the one browser that won’t just jump on the compliance train with all the other happy passengers.
]]>It doesn’t as was suggested “For the first time, there is no need to have special CSS fixes for IE”.
Here is a site I’m working on http://handfoto.com/
It fully drops the background png in the menu bar and it makes the fades in Lightbox look like they came from the stone age.
It remains a plague on web design.
]]>I still haven’t installed it, although I am on Chrome and FireFox3 for a long time now.
I suppose I will have to give a try soon, but the multiple IE testing is always a bit of a problem on the same machine anyway.
Standards compliance will ensure that sites will work nicely in IE8 as usual as with other browsers too.
