  • IE8 Passes the Acid2 test

    As many web developers know, Internet Explorer has always been behind the times for Web Standards.  Just last week IE8 (Which is still in development) passed the Acid2 test. The Acid2 Test's main website is here, and you can view the actual test here.  The Acid2 test has correct CSS and incorrect CSS. The test is to determine how a browser handles CSS(correct and incorrect). The long list of standards that web browsers has to support (W3C is only one body of standards), you can imagine how great the IE team must feel.

  • First look at VS 2008 - JavaScript intelisence.

    Yesterday I downloaded and installed VS 2008 Professional (MSDN License). The process was mild and pretty easy... uninstall all the beta software, install the new software etc. The only problem I had was when I launched a 2005 application (under TFS Source control). VS 2008 (And Team Explorer 2008 by extension) didn't really like this. I got a lot of errors, so I went back to VS 2005, manually checked out the entire solution, then loaded it up in VS 2008.  This worked like a charm.
