Hi All,

Someone has probably posted this already, but if you place the following line of code just underneath your <title> tags on every page it will make IE8 display your site as if it was in IE7.

I just applied it to one of my websites that was completly broken in IE8 and now it looks fine again

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

Yeah I think I posted it a little while back - however no reason for you not to increase its visibility

In the short term this is a brilliant way of keeping clients of existing sites happy.

In the longer term there will come a tipping point when (if we use this hack) we will have to say "OK, now I stop developing for IE7 and using the hack for IE8, instead I develop for IE8 and use IETester to check that IE7 is roughly OK".

I'm not sure how far in the future that will (or should) be... any views? Maybe when IE9 comes out

IE8 is Microsoft's last version of IE.
