listsdopa.blogg.se - Internet explorer 8

getElementById no longer returns elements whose NAME attribute matches.

Fixed memory leaks (this means that scripts no longer need to remove event handlers onunload).

Support for getters and setters using a syntax based on an ECMAScript 3.1 draft, that is completely incompatible with all other browsers.

Dynamically created radio buttons now work properly.

ownerElement and ownerDocument now exist.

getAttribute now returns an empty string for unspecified attributes - this is spec compliant but the spec is incompatible with every other implementation.

getAttribute and setAttribute now work correctly with previously special attributes like HREF, STYLE and CHECKED.

Cludged namespace support in HTML instead of proper XHTML support.

Table tags now correctly implicitly close paragraph tags.

Alternate sylesheets are now natively supported.

Data URIs partially supported, but limited to images and linked resources like CSS files, not HTML files.

Object fallback now works almost completely, but still has a few problems with resources from other Web sites.

values are now correctly submitted instead of their innerHTML.element type now correctly defaults to "submit".Tables and replaced elements (like images) with align="left" or align="right" no longer cause strange overlaps, and now behave more like regular floats.A few elements got new default styles, such as fieldsets having a 1.2em top margin instead of auto, and headings having font-size specified in relative units.CSS 3 box sizing (called -ms-box-sizing) and vertical text are supported (vertical text was always supported, but now it is in CSS 3).Floats now work almost correctly (most float bugs related to hasLayout), though overflow bugs still exist.(In betas 1 and 2, this also means that filters that relied on it no longer work, including opacity - they work again since IE 8 RC 1.) white-space now also supports pre-wrap and pre-line.list-style now supports all possible values from CSS 2.1, as well as upper-greek from CSS 3.display: inline-block now works on all elements.Table display and other table-related styles (border-spacing, etc.).Acid 2 passes (in Beta 1 it passes on the site, but fails on its new home at the site, although this is not related to CSS).CSS 2.1 (screen and print) is now mostly supported.The updates are not really worthy of mention next to the missing parts that Web developers are still in desperate need of. The DOM support is basically just as bad as it was in IE 7. Important DOM modules like DOM 2 Style, DOM 2 Events, and DOM 3 XPath have been ignored.

Unfortunately, there are almost no advances at all in DOM support, and IE remains nearly a decade behind the other browsers. Made a substantial advance through CSS 2.1, though is still behind the others in terms of CSS 3. The advances have mostly been in the CSS support, which has actually moved IE forward towards the other browsers. Sadly there have also been some major oversights, but more on those later. The Internet Explorer 8 is out, and clearly there have been some big advances since IE 7. Internet Explorer 8 Details of the changes
