It's much faster, and there are a lot of browser settings, much like Firefox. It's almost as fast as well. It was getting to where IE7 was very slow for me, so this helped quite a bit. I think there's more improvment to be done, but it's worth downloading. You will notice some display differences between the two. You can change settings, and things will work much better! ____________ My main IP 1.3 site My IP 1.3 styles test site

The page was stretching, graphics weren't showing up, I almost broke my monitor, then I quickly uninstalled IE8 Beta and reinstalled IE7. ____________ \| Icy Phoenix ColorizeIt! \| Bipolar Disorder - Not good for you and definitely not good for everyone else.

Inactive User	Re: IE8 Beta @ Chaotic, Do you want to re-install it and give us a screenshot of what you see? It would be helpful to see what is stretching from your aspect.

Inactive User	Re: IE8 Beta WhooHooHooo! Thanks mate, but I've installed it for a look and I see what you mean. However while I dont want to start a thread about IE8 and it's problems, I think it will shape up as one hell of an improvement from what it used to be. It's also going to force changes to the markup to conform with WCS. (I think) But at the moment it's backward compatible, providing of course one turns on the switches. I also think that it will take some working out. Microsoft wrote: Standards support CSS Expressions is no longer supported in Internet Explorer 8 Standards mode CSS Expressions is a proprietary extension to CSS that has a high performance cost. (CSS Expressions is also known as "Dynamic Properties.") Starting with Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2, CSS Expressions is no longer supported in Internet Explorer 8 Standards mode. CSS Expressions is still supported in Internet Explorer 7 Strict mode and Quirks mode for backward compatibility. Alternative style sheets Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 now supports alternative style sheets as specified by HTML4 and by CSS2.1. You can access the alternative styles that are defined by the Web page author by using the Style menu under the Page menu or under the View menu. You can use the No Style option on either menu to disable all author styling. You can also try this: Toolbar > Page > Compatability View. And at the moment this site is a hell of mess. But I've just clicked > Toolbar > Page > Compatability View > and it looks fine. PS: The best news since Sliced Bread! Now supports alternative style sheets as specified by HTML4 and by CSS2.1.

Inactive User	Re: IE8 Beta Because of this: Quote: Now supports alternative style sheets as specified by HTML4 and by CSS2.1. Switches like "Wrap Emergency" may no longer work with valid css pages, so they will have to be addressed. Don't know - But it will be fun working it out. Wont it Luca? Edit: Closing the Dynamic Menu make a lot of difference. Chaotic wrote: You owe me Lopalong! I've awarded you 2,000 forum points! Which entitles you to about nothing - Then it's back to normal.

gearhead Joined: May 2007 Posts: 274 Location: U.S.A.	Re: IE8 Beta I noticed the "stretching" problem too. You just have to select "compatibility" like Lopalong stated. Then you will kill the extra width problem with some sites. It's got a long way to go, but it was a fun experiment to see how close they could get to the speed of Firefox. It caused one major problem with me. I have McAfee, and it killed the display properties of that program. If anyone want's to uninstall it and wait for the final version just right click your start button and "explore", on your C: drive you will find the IE8 files. Open the IE8 folder, and then open the spuninst folder. There you will find the uninstall.exe program. It will revert back to your previous version. Then you re-start.

I've already voted Icy's release estimate for "When the cow jumps over the moon" - But I think it will be ready before IE8 is final, if IE7 was anything to go by.
