vb.org is NOT ccompatible with IE8
 

just got IE8 @ http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pro...8/default.mspx and having it enabled throws this sites style off. you can emulate between IE7 and IE8 which is cool, but having IE8 enabled this style is shifted, and mods have text in places it shouldnt.

so if you download IE8 beta, and you see stuff messed up, don't be scared, just Emulate back to IE7 and restart the browser and you will see everything ok.

This because there is code put in place to fix previous versions of IE's rendering errors. I believe there is code you can place to force IE to emulate IE7.

I have been running the beta 8 for a while now and that was the first thing I did after viewing my own site. It isn't just the org. The IE7 emulation code was added to 3.7, by the way.

ya i just found out some things on it. inside admincp on vb 3.7, under the Cookies and HTTP Header Options options there is a option to set to yes to render IE7 on a force i guess, if your using IE8.

but the admincp in 3.7 is not looking right with IE8 enabled...

is there no option on 3.6.10 to enable this IE8 to look right? if there is, the admin here might wanna enable it for us IE8 Beta users

IE8 sounds like a pain :P

Turn IE7 emulation mode on in the browser itself.



And IE8 really isn't a pain, its BETA software so why any one would expect anything more then what it delivers is beyond me.

it actually runs slightly faster then ie7. but its very slight. i can tell the difference because my lappy is 00b3r l33t....

anywho, i am beta testing the browser the right way, so i dont want to have the ie7 emulator always on. i know what the world wide web looks like on ie7, time to see if whats new in ie8 :)

With the standards the way they are now, I don't think any vb site is going to look right in IE8 yet. Templates are going to have to be redone among other things.

yeah expecting more than what is delivered should be beyond you

p.s. I will stick with my supercharged FF

All browsers are going to have to move up to the Web 2.0 standard sooner or later. Once again, IE leads the charge. ;)

Web 2.0 is not a standard...

XHTML is a standard, CSS is a standard, HTTP is a standard ... but "Web 2.0" ist just a buzzword.

(And IE is crap, but that's another issue ;-))

So YOU say... ;)

But it will be.

absolutely, and especially with the new beta/rc 3.0 releases ... it rocks, more faster, more useful, more and more ... ;)

edit: if you want try @ http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html also you can try the nightly releases ... but this is another issue

No it won't, Andreas is correct. Web 2.0 is a buzzword created by Tim O'Reilly mainly in response to Tim Berners Lee's Semantic Web. You can use web standards to achieve "Web 2.0."

actually Web 2.0 is a buzzword... "Internet 2" at the opposite is a different thing. and it may lead to something more standard than the Web 2.0 thingy...

if people ask you to make their site Web 2.0 compliant, the only thing you need is to add a BIG RED REGISTER BUTTON

FireFox all the way =]

i dont find firefox better then ie. ive always used IE. just a m$ kinda guy.

I thought Firefox was already or near the web standard with Firefox 2. Plus Firefox 3 beta has been out a while before IE8 beta was released.:rolleyes:

again, Web 2.0 is not a protocol or a standard or compliance, it's a way to navigate, it's a philosophy of viewing the web pages...

CSS3, XHTML2, XML are protocols that require compliance...

like Internet Explorer ALL versions is using 72.41 dpi instead of the other browsers which use 72.0 dpi for displaying pictures on their webpages... 72.0 is a standard for displaying regular flux of images, but Bill Gates twisted it a little in 1992 with his version... because he had a strange Kaypro monitor...

Buzzword or not, I believe it will develop into something more than it is eventually.

No site is compatible with IE8.. Or actually IE 8 is not compatible with any site at this time. Even if you visit some of Microsoft's sites they advise not using IE8. The first "Developer's Preview Beta" is just that a preview. It isn't meant for general browsing purposes. You need to use IE7 emulation mode to actually use the web in the software. It still has a long way to go before its street ready.

As far as "Web 2.0" it is a passing design style. Read the style blogs out there on the Internet. The new look is distressed Grunge, not the glossy look of Web 2.0.
