IE8-standards compliant

All to often I’ve hear the development team saying ‘it’s an IE6 specific problem’ or an IE7 issue, so it was interesting to read on Microsoft?’s MSDN IEBlog that IE8 “will, by default, interpret web content in the most standards compliant way it can” Previously Microsoft had said otherwise so good to note they are obviously ‘listening’ to feedback and making amends for IE8.
Browser specific issues and fixes are hugely time consuming and draw a lot of resource effort in all web projects and something I hope we can look to reduce in the future.

So it will be interesting to see the effect IE8 has on our online development projects and compatibility issues and of course the sanity of our developers (and me!)…..maybe a bit too early to trust the mighty Microsoft on this one..time will tell.
