Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 - Websites that are Broken

IE8 Beta 1 now forces CSS 2.1 along with other web standards (includes some early HTML 5 stuff too!). I'm creating a list of websites that seem to be broken by the browser. Feel free to leave a comment if you come across other sites. Here's what I found so far (notice that only part of the site may be broken and not necessarily all of the site):

  • http://dell.com (missing menu bar at the top and bottom)
  • http://cnn.com (textbox at the bottom on the page)
  • http://nbc.com (content layout)
  • http://yahoo.com (search bar)
  • http://asp.net (content layout)
  • http://gm.com (where's the content?)
  • http://officemax.com (missing some menu in the left column)
  • http://homedepot.com (some elements are not aligned properly)
  • http://news.com (items not aligned properly)
  • http://facebook.com (main page)

I won't agree that all web developers are busy again, it depends on how you built your sites.

Nebbercracker:

Maybe you care to enlighten us with your infinite wisdom and explain how YOU managed to code your sites (in advance) to work flawlessly in IE8?

We'd all love to know!

most of our sites are valid XHTML and CSS following good guides and standards, and most seem to have issues with IE8 beta (mainly floats). our early sites using tables and bad code seem to work! have we taken a step backwards here, whats going on? Please dont tell me this is going to be the final release!
