IE8 and versioning – very worrying developments

January 24, 2008 by Russ Weakley

I am not a fan of targeting browser versions. Nor am I a fan of the “opt-out” proposal. I am also unhappy about the idea about going back and adding a new meta element to every site I have done. It seems many others aren’t happy either. I’ve been collecting links for the last couple of days. Here is some articles and comments on the subject
