Developers who want their pages shown using IE8’s “IE7 Standards mode” will need to request that explicitly" Seems like its the other way around. IE8 will behave like IE8 unless you specifically request it to act like IE7. msn blog http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/03/03/microsoft-s-interoperability-principles-and-ie8.aspx -Tom Tiffany, you stated that “(as Jeremy Keith explained Unless you explicitly declare that you want IE8 to behave as IE8, it will behave as IE7.)”.
