i guess i'm out of my depth here. are you saying that the java that i DL for my computer needs to be updated by Sun to work with IE8? i assume Sun will do that post haste when IE8 is out. and then at that point, compatibility mode will no longer be necessary for IE8 and SC to function together (in standard mode), right? sometime in early 09 is your guess? mherger;341264 Wrote: > > > otherwise i consider that a huge failure of SCs design goals. > > Why? It does work. What more do you want? i didn't understand the java thing. i guess my point is that at some point, SC should be designed to work with IE8 in standard mode, and if it doesn't or won't, thats the failure. but i think its totally acceptable to say "well, we need java updated for that to happen." i guess my only point is that eventually, standard mode usage should be the ultimate goal, and if i am hearing you correctly, it is. mherger;341264 Wrote: > > > i won't defend IE, i'm sure it does many bad things. but IE8 will > be > > the new standard bearer, (for the market leading browser) it can't > be > > ignored. > > It's fully supported, even now, months before release (as well as its 7 > > year old brother IE6!).
