works well for me; yet, if you set your work to display in compatability mode in ie8 things should work almost the same.

you'll keep the site working as well as when it was delivered!

Hi flashcoders,

I just finished a website for a client and the client writes back and says
that one of her friends has IE8 and that the website is not displaying
correctly.

The website is displaying correctly in IE6 and IE7.  I was first surprised
to hear that IE8 was released, but I later found out that its a Release
Candidate 1, which I presume is a sort of a Beta version.

Does anybody have any comments on this? Should I download the IE8 version
and find the problem?  I am on a mac, using Parallels Desktop, Windows XP.

I am worried that I wont be able to test for IE7 and IE6 afterwards, that
IE8 will remove them.

Is it fair of client to ask me test for IE8 when it isn't officially
released yet?

Furthermore, what is this Microsoft is releasing now? I thought IE8 was
suppose to get better and be easier to develop for and follow web standards
more like Firefox, Safari and others.  The amount of additional work needed
for IE6 + IE7 is plenty, now we have to IE8 as well...

Vayu
