Get ready for Internet Explorer 8

Microsoft is currently preparing to release a new version of its Internet Explorer web browser. Version 8 is set to be released for all Windows users early in 2009, meaning that web masters may have some work to do now to ensure that their websites will display correctly in the new browser.
 

How IE8 affects your website

With IE8, Microsoft has enhanced how the web browser displays and renders websites. Previously, the company had been criticised for not complying with internet standards for HTML and CSS; the languages used to create websites. Within the latest version, however, the company claims to have massively improved web standards support, bringing Internet Explorer in line with web browsers such as Firefox, Opera, Safari and Google Chrome.

This brings a problem: your website may break in the new version of Internet Explorer. Luckily though, there’s an easy fix that you can put into your HTML.  In an effort to accommodate older sites, Internet Explorer 8 introduced the concept of document compatibility, which lets you specify the Internet Explorer versions that your site is designed to support.

The easy fix

This feature gives you several options or modes to use as your Meta tag and it Internet Explorer 8 to render your site as if it were being viewed in an older version of the browser.
Somewhere between your <head></head> tags of every page on your website, insert the following snippet of XHTML:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=5" />
Renders a page in quirks mode.


<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />
Renders the page in IE7 standards mode even if no DOCTYPE is present.


<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
Renders the page as IE7 does. This is the preferred compatibility mode.


<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />
Renders the page in the default Internet Explorer 8 and is the most standards compliant mode.


<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
Prepares the page to render with any future IE version, always using the latest rendering engine.

Do the the advanced fix first

For the most part, your website will only break if it doesn’t adhere to web standards. If you hand code your website, we always recommend developing your site using CSS and XHTML standards to ensure that your website is future proofed.
