So Internet Explorer 8 has been released. It’s been on the cards for a while now, and now it’s here. Boasting several new features including a “Compatibility View” (allowing users to view pages in older versions of the browser) and visual search suggestions in the search box (in a similar fashion to an auto-complete script) amongst others.
Just when you thought browser compatibilty testing was a laborious task, another web browser pops onto the scene. Internet Explorer conditional comments will hopefully adapt to reflect the addition of IE8, allowing users to customise their CSS and XHTML code for the specific browser… as well as possibly notify users of their browser of choice.
I’d love to read your opinions on this release. I look forward to testing IE8 and seeing how it renders my web code.
