Using gwt 1.5.3 Same here, IE8 in "compatibility view" mode seems to really behave like IE7. I believe that supporting IE8's "standards mode" would require (or at least benefit from) a new permutation, which means it's a bunch of work. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.

Re: IE8 support ?
I did encounter an issue with IE8: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=3329 I agree with the OP that some words from the GWT team on IE8 support would be welcome.

Re: IE8 support ?
IE8 has "compatibility mode" which allows you to emulate other IE versions. I just installed IE8 and i'm testing it with my rather big application (approx. 1Mb obfuscated java-script code) and so far not even one problem WITHOUT "compatibility mode". P.S.

Re: IE8 support
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 wrote: > Yes, it'll use the regular IE permutation.

Re: IE8 support
Yes, it'll use the regular IE permutation. At the moment, AFAIK, GWT generates one permutation of IE. -- Arthur Kalmenson On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 12:08 AM, davidroe wrote: > > I am curious about current and future support for IE8. > > > The list of browsers that GWT currently supports are: > > > > - Firefox 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0 > > - Internet Explorer 6 and 7 > > - Safari 2 and 3 > > - Opera 9.0 > > > > (current as of May 2008) > > > > We can also add on Google Chrome, Android and iPhone to that list. > > what currently happens when IE8 requests to load GWT content? does it > use the IE6/IE7 implementation? how does that pan out? > > with IE8 currently in beta, it is no surprise that there is little to > read about how GWT will support it. nevertheless, are there any > published documents that say how IE figures as part of the GWT > roadmap? > > thanks, > /dave > > > > --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
