Molti di voi leggendo penseranno: questo tizio รจ proprio impossibile! Microzozz not stand, and we know, can not stand the browser, and we know it. But why torture us with these his post, heavy, boring, and ordinary people these days are on vacation? Even if you do not think, do you also reply.
For some time I'm struggling with a new digital creation, a site very simple, slender, a little showcase of an artist, and so far so good, do not bother anyone. I know that, as from past experience, to set and carry out the site, I will have to inevitably deal with the microzozz browsers. You read that right: Browsers (by them, s, end). I'm not kidding, and I think you all know the situation as it is. Well. Reading about here and there on my blog I'm sure you guessed that I use a mac. MAC value, a 12-inch PowerBook G4, of course, that works like a mule every day by 3 years and in that time the problems that caused me not even exceed the fingers of one hand (but that's another story ....)
Returning to work, to the site, I knew I had to face tedious moments of testing with these various browsers ie. On the Mac I can test, having reflected a more or less the same on PCs, browser such as Safari, Firefox, Opera, Flock and other open source. The family is excluded ie, not a problem for me, I live very well without, really.
The problem exists for the people of the network: there are those who insist on still using IE6 ... those who use IE7 ... and the last time he made an appearance IE8! Since the beta versions of the ads etc ... I felt that we would not have gotten along. I lured the promises of support for css3, speed, behavior, if not equal, at least comparable to that of other browsers that use the above-mentioned and try to comply to some extent the W3C ...
Ended to throw down the draft of the site after several problems with "compatibility" with IE 6 / 7 ( for the record I always try to respect it stands in order to have fewer problems possible), the anchor text on a virtual machine to see behavior with family ie: the result? All well that ends well ... for now. Before turning off
winzzoz asks me to proceed with the installation of new updates including IE8! What better opportunity, we go! While I wait
ie8 browse the site to learn more and I fall on Frequently Asked Questions page of ie8 ( then that would be the cause of this post ) and known to the third question and I quote: What
I do if a Web page is not displayed properly or appears but does not work?
and the answer you know what?!? Simple:
Internet Explorer 8 is a new version and some Web sites may not yet be ready for Internet Explorer 8. Click the Compatibility View button to display the website in Internet Explorer 7.
Simple. Namely:
we continue to make our browser not meeting our standards and cabbage, if sbrighino developers, customers, and the poor sailors.
If you have a site that finally works with IE6 and IE7 (which obviously do not behave the same way) will not go well with IE8, so coders around the world do you update your site and your customers, otherwise if and take it with you if your friend's computer has A ie6 and does not fully understand their website, company has ie7, ie8 and child .....
^ _ ^ let's have a laugh, just not to cry.
a little note: the site to which I am devoting passed the "Test ie8" visible results "compatible" even if it uses somewhere a bit 'of css3 ... IE8 should support .... but in the end is not seen at all, behaving like a browser of a few years ago .... and that says it all.
Small Note 2: Some of my old sites, written for IE6 and IE7, IE8 shows with strange behavior, therefore, are not "ready yet" ... tedious work in the new arrival (I did not use "view" for obvious reasons ...).
Small Note 3: graphically did not seem a leap in quality compared to IE7 ...
What do you know about Internet Explorer 8? Have you used? What are your impressions?
