Hello,

My GUI works fine in the following browsers:
- IE6
- IE7
- Opera
- Safari
- Firefox
- Seamonkey
- Konqueror
However, yesterday, I tested it in IE8b1, and it's totally broken
http://neuridia.org/docs/gui/
I'd like to know if there is a hack to format my page only for IE8.
Thanks,

--
Charles.

Your URL just gives a directory listing. I am assuming that you meant
inbox.html

It may not be your fault: IE8b1 appears to be quite flaky. But I would
start by fixing the CSS errors.

You could use the MSIE proprietary 'comment' conditional offcourse.
However, I think it's to soon to create MSIE8 hacks, as far as I learned a
lot is still quite buggy. It would be a waste of time to write around bugs
they might fix anyway (and why the hell does MSIE8 STILL insist on not
understanding XHTML headers and SVG?).

BTW: especially hovering above & clicking on links seems to be broken ATM.
Don't try to fix that yet.

Yes, sorry

Thanks, I just tried to validate my style sheet on the W3C site, all
errors are related to IE6 hacks. Are they OK? If they aren't, what do
you suggest?
Thanks.

Thanks, I'll wait for RCs then.

Thanks, David. Yes, I could do that, but what about if I want to use
just one style sheet file?

Microsoft has poured its support for browser-based vector graphics into
Silverlight, which, along with Adobe's Flash and Flex, has taken
interest away from the clunky SVG technology.

What's clunky about SVG technology?
