RE: [WSG] IEv8 support for Data URIs?
Hi All, Forget that last post; Complete rubbish; I made a basic error in the testing. It turns out IEv8 supports both the NOT IE conditional comment and Data URIs. The error was thrown up by badly layered conditional comments and the use of a * hack. Doh!

Hi All, I was under an impression that IEv8 was to support Data URI format for images. Yet preliminary testing with IETester shows a lack of support. Can anyone confirm if IEv8 is to support the format? Preliminary test results for IEv8b2: 1. The NOT IE conditional comment failed. 2. Data URI failed. 3. * hack failed. Though in fairness these were at a glance, and not at all extensive. They may even be (IETester) installation issues. Mike Foskett http://websemantics.co.uk/ Disclaimer This is a confidential email.

There are some limitations documented here [1]. In simple cases it seems to work, at least in IE8 build 18344 (see for example [2]).
