Would like to know if you ever tried IE8 beta so far, I'm sure pretty much of you did.

I got really sick seeing my pages in IE8 tho thus showing great and same on every possibly other browser including older versions of IE.

They made "readiness toolkit", but are you really willing to take "readiness" ?

I use IE8 as my standard browser, mainly because it is now possible to test your pages as if they were being viewed by IE6/IE7 or IE8

I have found a few quirky pages, some because the pages are coded wrong and a couple which were obvious bugs in IE8, you can set IE8 to run as IE7 by default which should not give you any problems<

open the dev toolbar and set it to Quirks mode, that emulates IE5/6 or Strict mode for IE7<

I played with IE8, almost immediately had to emulate IE7 because of errors; got disgusted and went back to 7.<

Well, one of obvious bug I noticed was "<a name="top"></a>" now acts as a complete new line like <br />, can't ofcourse go top "top" too... You can't vertical-align divs as well, no matter what you do etc.

Actually, 8 in emulation mode is less crash prone than 7. 7 was crashing about 5 times a day (had to kill it from Task Manager), so I'm using 8 and don't see me going back .<

I agree with Rui emulation mode for it seems to be less buggy than 7. I am liking 8 so far but I do run it in emulation mode for the most part.<

I've not had the problems with IE7 (which I use mostly at work), but I probably ought to install it at home (the desktop standard at work is IE6 ) so I can start testing my websites. One of my concerns was testing in older browsers as well. Since IE7 doesn't really have a good "stand alone" install, I was curious as to how people were going to test against older versions.

I'm also needing to start testing against Fx3... it never ends. <

Well, I rather use IE7 and IE8 at same time, installing Maxthon 2 over IE8. Maxthon runs default IE7 mode, can open IE8 and IE7 at same for checks.<

I just discovered a fairly serious flaw in IE8, which pretty much renders WebApplication unusable in iE8


When opening a new Window in IE8 from an existing Window, the users session is lost!<

I think that is a known bug HuwR, but would not hurt to resubmit.<
