IE8 to Be Standards-Compliant by Default

Iria · Mar 4, 2008, 05:48 AM

In December Microsoft promised that Internet Explorer 8 would be more standards compliant. While that would already be a real change-of-pace, Microsoft has also decided to make the planned standards compatibility mode the default mode for IE8.

Microsoft has already indicated that IE8 is capable of passing the Acid2 rendering test (as shown).

Making the non standard page renderer default on the most widely used browser turns that mode into de facto standard, so hurrah and huzzah!
