Hi Everyone

This is may be important for anyone using a Suckerfish menu or left:auto. All 
IE/Win versions including IE8 in some case can not properly offset auto.

IE8 had indeed fixed the Recalculated Offset bug (that's why the IE team kept 
of visiting that page).

But that is after hover. The original Calculated Offset bug in some cases with 
offset is still present in IE8. IE7 and lower always show the wrong offset. 
Anyone who is using absolute positioning and left:auto (and maybe padding on 
the container) will now have to feed any correcting rules for IE7 to IE8 as 
well.

I can not test on IE7 anymore. But these are the like scenarios:

1. Where IE8 now shows correctly, when IE7 mode is (toggled) selected, there is 
no differences. IE7 mode should show the wrong offset in all examples or some 
sites may be broken since it will still use the different rules that is for IE7.

2. Where IE8 is showing the wrong offset (I think with padding on the 
container), IE8 will now need the IE7 rules.

I will attempt to fully complete theses test cases from memory, but I will 
please welcome help from anyone who can compare each example by using one 
machine with the real IE7 and another machine with IE8. I do not trust IE8 in 
IE7 mode anymore to show correct IE7 behavior. :-)


Bruno, you said you were getting confused in another message. I getting 
confused to but with IE8 and toggling. Did you like me overwrite IE7 when you 
installed IE8? I know Ingo used a virtual PC for installing IE8.
