IE 8
______So I installed Microsofts Internet Explorer 8, thought I should check out what challenges it will provide in designing web sites. They are varied and perhaps even more complicated than before. Although the browser has greater .css support (although not comprehensive) it throws up further obstacles through it’s convoluted compatibility mode. This is Microsoft’s token effort to accept standards but on their own terms. I think it is safe to say that many users are become more disillusioned with Microsoft’s pathetic attempts to maintain it’s monopoly, with many using other browsers and more so jumping ship altogether and using linux or mac operating systems. Please, I implore all explorer users to please download firefox. The web will always struggle to progress as long as users support this abhorrent application.
______The possibilities in .css3 are fantastic and a real progression in function and aesthetics for the web. Check out these examples for proof. http://www.zurb.com/playground. With all the other browsers providing or in the process of implementing support for .css3 internet explorer is maintaining it’s status as the thorn in the side of web developers the world over.
