That's very true. Those that our party of the community are those that

You would need to give URL's and specific examples of the problem. Are
there web standards issues or just javascript not working. If it is a

The IE7 beta worked as a standalone until the first Release Candidate came out.
I presume IE8 will do the same.
Am trying now, but you need to have a fully patched machine (I'm behind a

Since I don't had the last updates in my machine, IE8 forced me to do it.
And I did...
Now I can't have IE6, it's updated!
I have IE7 standalone running properlly.
I'll digg to find a IE6 standalone version that worked with Ie8!
For the rest, everything looks fine.
2 restarts later I have found the following:
* it overwrites IE7
* it doesn't render anything in the tabs!
* it has an 'emulate IE7' button (??)
Best to hold off for now. If I get it sorted I'll let you all know.

IE8 does provide a mode switch to IE7. There's a new button next to the home
button. Though I'm not surpriced it nuked your IE6 installation.
I gave it a go and tried some of my testcases where I make heavy use of
selectors and other cutting edge CSS features. Can't say I was impressed. I

As far as I know the emulate IE7 button forces the browser to render
pages like IE7... [Microsoft also added a meta tag to choose which
rendering version your visitors will use during their visit]

see that IE8 still got a long way to go. :(

Hi Thomas,
One thing I noticed was some oddness with :hover behaviour
I remember when IE7 came out (RC1 I think) I had to add [1] a:hover {} to
the head of my documents else it didn't work at all. I added it within my
@import statement with empty braces, like this:
style type=text/css
Agreed, plenty of virtualisation software out there that makes problems like
the ones reported just go away.
In most VM's you could take a snapshot of Windows prior to install of IE8 then
roll back to that snapshot when you are done with IE8 or until a workable
standalone comes through. For

If you have spare WinXP installs, that is.
Sadly a bit late, but I stumbled across these ready-made VirtualPC

I had this crazy idea that MS would allow developers to implement something
like this so we could forget about the various furbar'd rendering engines MS
produces and just run with something that works for those of us who code to,
or try to code to, the various standards:

Some of the oddness can use experienced here:

over the menu where the headers are below.
Also, the table of content will not drop down.

We've decided that IE8 will, by default, interpret web content in the
most standards compliant way it can. This decision is a change from what
we've posted previously.
Hi all,
Sorry for the quick-fire posts. This just in:

and then switch back to the first tab - this seems to 'wake up' the rendering
engine

What I meant by 1 set fee was I'll get you top rankings on all search

Charging by the page or per hour (as I do it) is more legitimate. Some
projects you can't really charge by the page though. I have one client
who's site has 600,000 pages or more.

Yup, I'm seeing odd :hover behaviour as well in some of my own testcases.
Launch them bug reports at them. https://connect.microsoft.com/IE
Let make sure MS is told about the problems now early. If not we'll be stuck
with this for sure afterwards.
