Microsoft use their intelligence for once
March 4th, 2008 by WheelzI’m sure if any of you are techy then you will have knows about Microsofts plans for IE8. In a nutshell, what they decided they were going to do was to have IE8 display, by default, the same as IE7 and if you wanted it to be displayed in IE8 mode you had to use a meta switch. This pissed off most of the web development community as it seemed that by default we would all be stuck in web circa 2007 unless we coded a switch in.
Well now it appears that common sense has prevailed in Redmond and now unless you specify otherwise IE8 will render pages using the IE8 standards mode. For more information check out this post on the IE site
Finally today I have to put up this advert I saw online. It gave me a laugh as its probably totally true in reality.
