Hi Dave, GWT strives to be a great solution for building Ajax applications - that means easy to develop, highly performant and cross-browser compatible on all major browsers.
That said, the team is keeping a close eye on IE8 developments, and will make sure that GWT applications work without extra effort on the developer's side. For the moment, however, Arthur is correct in that GWT will use the regular IE permutation when serving to an IE client. But that isn't really so bad, since backwards compatibility is expected in IE8 (see link below): http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/01/21/compatibility-and-ie8.aspx Hope that helps, -Sumit Chandel On Thu, Jan 22, 2009 at 5:35 AM, Arthur Kalmenson <arthur.k...@gmail.com>wrote: > Yes, it'll use the regular IE permutation.
