Al’s top tips – IE 8 bugs?

At Seven Communications we test all our websites in multiple browsers and version variations to make sure there are no bugs. The testing process begins with Mozilla Firefox (something that we highly recommend), occasionally have to make small tweaks or hacks so that the websites work in all browsers.

I recently came across an error that was specific to Internet Explorer 8 (Microsofts latest version). The solution? to force Internet Explorer to use the IE7 rendering engine! just paste the code below after the < head > tag in your html. (remember remove the space before meta)

< meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

Big thanks to Ironpaper
