administrator Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Hi, I finally decided to take a look at my web pages in IE8 since it was out of beta. Overall it seems to be OK ... but, I did find some elements in my pages that were not rendering well. So what to take away from this, is that Microsoft hasn't been able to keep the browser experience consistent between versions of their own browsers. PS: the part of my page that does not work in IE8, works fine in: - IE6 - IE7 - Firefox - Safari. ... Man! Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 If you can't find a solution for IE8 without a lot of recoding, it's simpler to force viewers to use the IE7 compatibility mode by putting this code just after the tag, (not further down the head tag because if it's after some other items in the head it doesn't work):- close with /> for XHTML Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
administrator Posted May 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I think the best solution for now is to use the meta tag you suggest. ... Frankly, I am getting tired of continually having to create new style sheets for IE. Stef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
