[AccessD] Is IE8 crippled?

Hi Karen:

Although I am very tempted to use item 2, item 1 will have to do. Thank you
so much Karen. 8-)

A fellow IT guy says that about a month ago, on a large install of Windows7
his crew removed IE8 from all the stations and are still holding high hopes
for IE9. It does seem drastic but at 2:00AM this morning, a much larger
culling did not seem inappropriate.

I was just reading an excellent MS article on how to do overlapping IFrames
so it seems so odd that they do not allow their browsers to support even
local domain IFrames out of the box so to speak? I know what you are going
to say about there being a 'local' compatibility mode but it does not work.

While we are on the subject do you have a method handy for testing whether a
version of IE8 has set compatibility mode of or still off.

TIA
Jim

1. It is supposed to have a compatibility mode -- set it to be backwards
compatible.

2. Uninstall IE8.

I must have been out of the loop but I have just installed the latest
version of IE8 on one of my test computers as I am doing a series of browser
tests for a new client's web site.

It appears the IE8 does not support IFRAMES even for local domains... This
is going to require a major rewrite with a lot of coding... as well it
screws up JQuery in various ways. To say the least IE8 looks like a
nightmare.

Any help or suggestions?

Jim
