Yeh, you've got to explicitly say exactly what browsers/OS's you'll be targetting, then you can rest easy. Otherwise the natural assumption is that you'll keep the site working as well as when it was delivered! 2009/2/3 Vayu Robins v...@vayu.dk Hi flashcoders, I just finished a website for a

download ietester http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage works well for me; yet, if you set your work to display in compatability mode in ie8 things should work almost the same. http://blogs.msdn.com/chkoenig/archive/2008/08/28/ie8-standards-mode-and-ie7-compatibility-mode.aspx
