Ben, this is Microsoft - they don't make good impressions, they add value for shareholders ;)
That said, I am surprised that they didn't run it through their own site to test it - or perhaps they did, then the map was added by another team. Things like this happen in large organisations.

Microsoft's own home page does not work very well and major sites (like Adobe.com<http://Adobe.com> and Yahoo are rendered in degrees of chaos). In the event this beta gets out in the wild and folks start using it as their default browser for general surfing, I'd recommend a little warning: http://www.projectseven.com/testing/ie8/pmm/ You'll see an alert box if you use IE8. -- Al Sparber - PVII http://www.projectseven.com Extending Dreamweaver - Nav Systems | Galleries | Widgets Authors: "42nd Street: Mastering the Art of CSS Design" ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ________________________________ NOTICE - This communication is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
