[AccessD] Is IE8 crippled?

There does not seem to be anything special about that site. I just threw this page together...

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html><head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=unicode" http-equiv="Content-Type">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="MSHTML 8.00.6001.18904"></head>
<body><iframe height="300" src="myframe.htm" 
width="100%">
  <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
</iframe></body></html>

And it displays fine in IE8. The HTML for the frame is...

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html><head><title>myFrame</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="MSHTML 8.00.6001.18904">
<meta content="text/html; charset=unicode" http-equiv="Content-Type"></head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<h1 align="center">myFrame</h1>
<h2 align="left">Heading 2</h2>
<p>Normal</p>
<p align="center"><font size="1">This Web Page Created with PageBreeze </font><a 
href="http://www.pagebreeze.com" target=_blank><font size="1">Free HTML 
Editor</font></a></p></body></html>

Hi Lambert:

That is interesting Lambert. I wonder if " http://www.w3schools.com " has some kind of meta tag setting that fixes IE8?

I'm currently looking at this site in IE8

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_iframe

And it is displaying the iFrame perfectly well, and no, w3schiools.com is
*not* in the compatibility mode list.

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
