Start pushing IE8, And the compatibility issue is urgent

Hong Chao sent me an email reminding me that the Internet Explorer 8 compatibility label has not been used in many areas of csdn. Indeed, Microsoft is about to release it next month. If there are so many other websites that are not compatible, don't worry.

 

Previously, I participated in Microsoft's technology preview on IE8. The new features, such as activity and webslice, are very attractive. However, technically, the true highlight of IE8 is its comprehensive support for web standards. However, it is the historical neglect of standards in IE that leads to the de facto standard of non-standard tags, it's easy to change the website owner.Therefore, Microsoft uses the standard web page of IE8 as the drawing method of IE7 by default, and uses this "Super Standard mode" of IE8 ", the website owner needs to modify the meta of the webpage or the HTTP header information of the website,It is no wonder that some people say that Microsoft always uses one error to mask another. (HONG Chao correction: compatible with IE8 is relatively simple, as long as it complies with W3C standards, but currently most websites in China are compatible with IE6 standards, so it will be deformed under IE8/FF/chrome .)

 

After all, the Internet Explorer market share is too high, and website owners can only follow this trend. We found that in history, there will always be a considerable number of old version upgrade for the new version of IE. This release of IE8 is no exception, and we have to prepare in advance. Since Microsoft fully embraces web standards, let's make ourselves more standard.

 

It is actually very simple to make the existing website compatible with IE8. Hong Chao is releasing IE8 beta 2 soon. Are you ready for your website ?" It has been written in very detail:

A. for the full site page: you can modify the HTTP header information of a Web server (such as Apache, IIS, and resin) by adding the following command: X-UA-compatible: Ie = emulateie7. This is a highly Recommended Practice. If you cannot perform a full-site test, you can use this method to temporarily disable the strict mode of IE 8.

B. for separate pages: if most of the pages of your website are displayed normally in strict IE 8 Mode and only some pages have problems, we recommend that you set the top of the page where the problem occurs, add the following meta tags to the head Tag: <meta http-equiv = "X-UA-compatible" content = "Ie = emulateie7"/>.

 

I checked the distribution of browsers on the csdn homepage yesterday. IE6 accounts for 44.26%, IE7 accounts for 30.63%, firfox accounts for 16.6%, chrome accounts for 4.78%, opera accounts for 1.55%, and IE8 accounts for 0.86% in the sixth row, let's look at the situation three months later.
