internet explorer 8 – my experience with the beta

I don’t know if anyone has played with the beta release of IE 8 yet, I have, I just got done rebuilding the template for our site so that is worked with IE6, IE7 , firefox 2 and firefox beta 3… Now I open it in IE8 and blamo! Problems…

Well – minor ones… The biggest is that for some reason it puts like 12px of padding at the top of the page. even though I have

[CODE]
body {
margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}
[/CODE]

I also have that same padding and margin code in almost all of my container divs. Maybe there is a better way to do it but that code works for all the other browsers as far as I can see.

The other bit of weirdness is that there is this little message board to the left of the site ([url]http://www.freedoniagroup.com[/url]) and in a fit of lazyness while doing the CSS transition I stuck the image inside a <table> so that it I could align it to the center (actually it was like that… I just modified it a little). For some reason that little table inside the msgBoardDiv caused it to bump down underneath the div it was next to even though it had plenty of space, top and bottom… Hmmppp? I really don’t know what that is all about – I fixed it by removing the table **shrug** I haven’t found any other problems yet.

Just my two cents!

Have fun
