IE8 is on the Horizon
So Internet Explorer 8 is on the horizon and it’s said to handle CSS standards much more efficiently than previous versions of Intenet Explorer have.
I guess that means that, when it finally does appear, we’re going to see a rush of clueless designers who start incorporating at lot more CSS into their designs forgetting that a large proportion of the world will still be several steps back and using IE7 or IE6.
In fact we took a client back to IE6 (from IE7) yesterday after his important Gmail account stopped displaying in IE7. It wasn’t an isolated case either - it seems that quite a few people have been calling our computer tech with the very same problem.
A month or so ago Gmail had a major update and in the last week or so Microsoft have been pushing out an update for IE7 … I guess somewhere along the line the two got out of synch.
