Platform Complete. The technical community should expect the final IE8 release to behave as the Release Candidate does. The IE8 product is effectively complete and done.
Supporting New Elements in IE
Päivän hyvä uutinen on, että IE8 ei ole rikkonutkaan tunnettua kiertokeinoa HTML5:n uusien elementtien tyylitettelyn mahdollistamiseksi.
Note that there is a known bug that prevented this from working in IE 8 beta 2, but this has since been resolved in the latest non-public technical preview.
Riippuvuus JavaScriptistä ei silti ole kovin hyvä tilanne HTML5:n yleistymisen kannalta. Jos IE8 ei natiivisti minkä tahansa nimisen elementin tyylittelyä tue, ennustan todella pitkää käyttöönottoaikaa HTML5:lle.
“Improved” Namespace Support
Sam Ruby:
Finally, lets try something really simple. No SVG. No X-US-Compatible. Served as text/html. The result: no CSS support for elements introduced in HTML5. While one can coax such support out of IE7 — and IE8 will even emulate that behavior when told to do so — I’m not aware of any equivalent mechanism for IE8.
