Internet Explorer 8 - the impossible is possible?
Today there were a lot of posts on a subject. However, I will insert my 5 kopecks in order to summarize everything.
Last night, the official Internet Explorer developer blog told the Internet community about an incredible event. A new development version of Microsoft's browser at number 8, was finally able to pass the Acid2 test .
This event, however, was somewhat overshadowed by suspicious circumstances. Suddenly, all the latest versions of modern browsers (Safari 3, Opera 9, Firefox 3), which support web standards most correctly and which successfully passed this test until yesterday and showed a result identical to what IE8 is issuing, began to give an error in one same place.
')
I sincerely want to believe that this is an unfortunate misunderstanding.
In addition, Microsoft announces that the first public demonstration of the new browser will occur at the MIX08 conference (March 5-8, 2008), and the first beta version will appear in the first half of 2008. Also, the browser will support backward compatibility with pages optimized for previous versions of Internet Explorer. Are the developers waiting for another new rendering mode?
This page also provides a video of how IE8 went to the test and the comments of the developers.
UPD. It turned out that the ACID2 test on the project webstandards.org now really does not work correctly. The correct test can be passed on the developer's site .
