Internet Explorer 8 breaks what must be every 3rd page I look at. The point of this early release was, I presume, to give website owners the chance to update their sites so it wouldn’t be such a hassle for the final release.
Has anyone actually done this?
Is anyone even planning on doing this?
I have yet to notice any of the big sites like ebay, myspace, facebook and so on bother so why will smaller sites if they can just use the compatibility mode?
I think i’ll do it with mine, but how can you have your site compatible with IE7 and 8?
You can also take a look at aggiorno express for IE8 Compat, it is a free tool that automates the tagging of your site with the meta tag Jon points to, it will also remove the flag once u have got ur pages to render correctly under the standards mode.
The tool supports both a GUI and command line so it is easy to script to tag multiple sites. Worth check it out.
