29. What Did We Learn?
Safari, Firefox and IE8 all display the same way
• Decide when your business can afford to stop supporting IE6 and
IE7 to save your developers time
• But be aware IE6, IE7 and IE8 look the same to most web servers
8 so be sure to send the right page to IE8
IE8 will display pages the same way as IE7
• But you need to tell IE8 to display that way
• See http://msdn.microsoft.com/iecompat to learn how to add
the site compatibility META tag to your pages/server
7&8
IE6 is IE6
• Get tips on migration from IE6 to IE7 at
