IE8 has the same old bugs and <a href="http://css-class.com/test/bugs/ie/ie-bugs.htm" rel="nofollow">new bugs</a>. The whole support of the display <a href="http://css-class.com/test/css/table/table-property1.htm" rel="nofollow">table</a> and <a href="http://css-class.com/test/css/table/table-cell-property1.htm" rel="nofollow">table-cell</a> properties is completely broken in IE8. This is now currently breaking sites all over the internet where these properties have been used. Jeffrey, did you know about this? This was indeed a good decision for Microsoft to make because IE8 is far from a CSS standard compliant browser.

IE8 has the same old bugs and new bugs. The whole support of the display table and table-cell properties is completely broken in IE8. This is now currently breaking sites all over the internet where these properties have been used.

Jeffrey, did you know about this?
