Recently, I was browsing the web using IE8, and noticed there are quite a number of sites having some display problem with their websites’ layouts. This could possibly due to the optimizing techniques used in the coding, designed previously to cater to the non-standard compliant of IE6. And when recently, Microsoft decided to upgrade their IE browser to version 8, and this has created the display problem.
I have done some research online, and found out that the best way to solve this problem immediately, is to enter the following quick fix code in the web page: <meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=EmulateIE7″ />. This will help to notify IE8 to emulate the website to be displayed under the IE7 mode. However, I think the quick fix code should not be treated like a future standard, whereby designers continue to cater to IE6 standards, and make use of the quick fix code to emulate the browser in IE7 mode. We should abandone IE6 totally, and move on to a more standard compliant platform.
