Full-text blog feedIE8 will pass the Acid 2 test
This is seriously good news for everyone who is planning on making a website in the coming 10 or so years.
What does it mean? Well, here are a few things:
- The IE team must have started working on IE8 roughly at the same time as they started work on IE7.
- Finally, IE will support CSS min- and max-widths. (Which I use on this blog to regulate the width of this main column.)
- Loads less IE layout bugs: Web designers and web developers will be happier at work in the coming decade.
However, there is a big however. The IE team speaks of some kind of switch to make IE8 work in IE8 Standards Mode
. Let's just hope they didn't choose a non-standard way for websites to request standards mode... (I.e. I hope they're going to stick with the transitional vs. strict doctypes for quirks mode vs. standards mode.)
