[Wikitech-l] Internet Explorer 8 beta issues

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 As you may or may not be aware, Microsoft released a developer beta of Internet Explorer 8 a few days ago. I figured I'd go ahead and take a poke at it... I've set up a tracking bug for IE 8 issues in our Bugzilla, and threw in a few problems I noticed immediately: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=13361&hide_res… 13362: Misaligned form fields 13363: Overprinting of checkbox text 13364: Fieldset legend is placed incorrectly 13365: Some check box labels are missing first character 13366: Cologne Blue styles fail 13367: Standard, Nostalgia skins show border on the site logo 13368: Monobook bullets are black instead of cyan 13369: Monobook user links icon broken Some of these are probably going to be things we can correct in our styles or code, but some look like basic problems in the renderer, which will need to be reported to Microsoft for them to fix. If I'm reading the runes correctly, we currently don't load any special workaround CSS or JS code for IE 8, at least under the Monobook skin. Hopefully we can keep it that way. :) - -- brion vibber (brion @ wikimedia.org)
