Web browser standards and IE8 rendering:

As you probably know, Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 has been released and is giving many web developers and companies with great websites viewing issues, sent sites developed for older standards basically to HELL!!

In what way i hear you asking?? well the list is an endless list, a little like that we saw when IE6 was around. Pages display totally different than which they did in IE7, yes there is a compatibility button that makes these pages show as they did with IE7 and its been one of the best features a user has in the IE8 browser. So what we have below will be a god sent to many website owners, developers, there is a META tag that you can add to and web page that makes it show as it would in IE7 without any user interactions at all.

Whats the difference? actually nothing at all, BUT what if many web users coming to your site don’t fully know how to click the compatibility button? What if they just hit the back button instead because your site looks like crap to them? Thats right, many, actually more than just many….. literally thousands of web users don’t know More >
