Internet Explorer 8 To comply with WC3 Standards

Also, I can't understand why anyone in the right mind would design a site for a browser that doesn't comply with standards (IE). Always, always, always design a site using Firefox. Most browsers are very similar or are closely related to it.

Thanks for the news!

I found that it's best to develop side by side with internet explorer because, like it or not, it still controls the market. It's easier to fix bugs early on in the process than to wait till the end and realize that IE6 screwed up the box model and you're off by a pixel everywhere.

Just use

<!--[if IE]>STYLING<![endif]-->

You really shouldn't be off in IE much if you did it in Firefox. At least with the 5 or so sites I've done, nothing is very dramatic (IE 5 and 5.5 is a different story).

Im just saying it will be easier for designing the site. Just add the tag, and you don't have to put in the extra effort for designing it side by side.

IE8 Beta 1 just came out and im not impressed, same old thing, not many new features, at least they fixed some CSS problems

I'm downloading it right now. I know this is slightly off-topic, but I fouind out that they are de-bloating Windows in Windows 7. Currently they have a new kernel called MinWin at 25 MB with a simple HTTP server. (Windows 7 Ultimate Milestone 1)
