IE8 - Full Standards Compliance
Monday, March 3rd, 2008via: Simple Bits
Some exciting news from the developers of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 8! Basically they have reversed course on their previous decision to hamstring standards based web design by forcing IE8 to render all web pages in an identical fashion as IE7, unless explicitly told to do otherwise. Microsoft was planning on forcing web developers tell IE8 to render a web page according to web standards or else IE8 would render the page identically to IE7 (which has some shortcomings when it comes to standards).
This is definitely good news and I for one am glad to see Microsoft making a decision that makes sense for the web community at large.
