IE7 emulation in IE8 Beta 1 doesn’t do what it says on the tin
IE8 Beta 1 has some cool features, but, as I still need to develop for IE7, I only installed it over IE7 because it has an IE7 emulation mode. Problem is, that mode doesn’t quite work.
Oh. Oh. Oh. See Gmail puke. Look Microsoft! Look!
What is going on with the left navigation? It’s usually more compact than that…and the chat widget has disappeared.
I’m not sure yet if it’s a rendering issue or whether the user agent isn’t being reported as IE7 and Google isn’t formatting it accordingly.
Either way, you can’t trust IE8 Beta 1 to emulate IE7 properly.
