sigh…They call it “IE” (Indonesian mnemonic abbreviation for..
Aiiii EEEEEE!!!!! OMFG!!!!!! ) for a reason!
If you’re not using Jquery a standardized JavaScript library (and even if you are) you have to audit your code! Even worse are the 1,000’s of JavaScript sites Dynamic drive is one example, that may have code that is more and more askew as IE8 takes hold.
some Microsoft solutions are:
SOLUTION: Ensure case-correctness and use getElementsByName when searching name attributes.
my Solution:
<!—[if IE]>
GET FIREFOX!
<![endif]—>
To which you may say, shouldnt Microsoft fix these problems then?
To which I say,
If a tree falls in a forest, does it care if a bear shits in the woods?
