Internet Explorer 8 effects on your website
Sunday, April 12th, 2009
Summary:
Web browser, Internet Explorer 8’s release means we will be developing websites differently. Microsoft has finally kept their side of the bargain to build a web browser which complies with the standards set out by the WAI. Up until now web developers have had no choice but to hack their way through to producing modern design layouts. With IE8, we can begin designing and developing more complex grids. But a new problem now arises, support for IE6 and IE7. On a case by case basis we must decide to A). Go the extra mile for these older versions, adding extra code to make them look the same as IE8, FireFox, Opera, Safari and other compliant browsers. B). Create extra stylesheets for IE versions up to and including IE7 which serve a dumbed down version of the design, acting as a gentle poke to upgrade. C). Decide not to create versions for IE up to and including IE7, the content will still be readable but the design will be visibly broken.
