IE8 beta 1, first glance
Comments(1) So I installed the first beta release of Internet Explorer 8 today just to check how things work and I’m affraid they don’t. Let me just say from the start that this isn’t anything remotely similar to a comprehensive review. I only wanted to check if my sites need any work before this thing goes into final release.
Most sites I’ve checked work just fine but as Murphy would have it… the most complicated one of my own doesn’t. I have no idea what goes wrong but that’s actually not the worst part of it. At first glance the site appears quite normal, no weird positioning, broken lines or silly stuff like that. I should be so lucky…nope. Instead of visible errors I have to deal with invisible ones. That in itself wouldn’t be much of a problem if the invisible part would be anything other than the navigation links. Yup, entire site navigation vanished into thin air and I have no idea why. Maybe it has something to do with floats and clearing, maybe it’s something else entirely. But I sure hope it’s only a rendering bug and not really my fault. It works fine in everything else from IE6 to FF3.
It also crashed (as in – this program has to close, send error report) when viewing this site (FERI @ Uni. MB), it has margin/padding problems with Hotmail and I had to hard reset my computer when I started to write this post in WordPress. That’s the short version of the problems I had untill now.
I’ll ignore the errors for now (since it is a beta version) but I sure hope I won’t end up worrying about yet another problematic browser that requires special attention. Other than that it looks ok ;)
