Recently the Internet Explorer development team posted that IE8 passes the Acid 2 standards test. Having spent a lot of time working around rendering issues in IE, I feel like I should be happy about this. I think I would be happy if everyone used the same browser. But unfortunately that’s not the case. I would even settle for all IE users updating to IE8 when it comes out. Hell I’d settle for an update to IE7. Alas, even though IE8 is standards compliant, I still have to work my way around IE6. And the chain of browsers is only as strong as the weakest link.
