to not render correctly in this week's IE8 release candidate:
Does anybody have any comments on this? Should I download the IE8 version
and find the problem? I am on a mac, using Parallels Desktop, Windows XP.
I've heard other reports of newer HTML clients not supporting existing
websites, but I haven't tracked the pre-release details. Best resource I
know of for user-experience changes is the IE team's own weblog:
http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/
That said, it may be a client/developer contractual agreement about
which browsers to test against. If they specified IE6 and IE7 for the
Microsoft-branded browsers, then it doesn't seem quite fair to suddenly
add another version (particularly a pre-release) to that matrix. But if
the required clientside runtimes were not specified in the original
contract, then that could make things stickier... it sounds like they
accepted the project, then wanted to make changes after the project was
"finished". Tricky problem! :(
