This is real problem if an author decides that IE8 should to go into IE7 mode and render like the true IE7. No conditional comments meant for IE7 are used. It seems like that X-UA "IE=8" and [if IE 8] or generally IE8 mode alway wins out. Have you tried [if lt IE 8]? Even before they decided to have IE8 standard mode as default I was raising issues like will IE8 in standard mode use conditional comments like [if IE] or [if gte IE 7]. I now know that they do so IE7 buggy styles will be targeting IE8 edge. > Second: The emulate-IE7-button should overrule the X-UA "IE=8". Make sure when you do this that you only have one tab open, since toggling into IE7 strict mode will only change the mode for the first opened tab. Changing the order of these tabs make no difference. It is only the first opened tab that will change in mode. You are correct Ingo, the emulate IE=7 toggle mode should overrule X-UA "IE=8". What we need is a valid IE8 filter hack and indeed I have found one. <http://css-class.com/test/ie8hack-valid.htm> Toggling the modes in IE8 will show a big difference. The last one can be used to test IE7 buggy rules fixes when IE8 is emulating IE7 mode regardless of what ever else is on the page. Yes these hacks work better and are more reliable then any X-UA + CC combo. :-) Alan http://css-class.com/test/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
