Microsoft is still working on it, so I'd rather wait and see if they fix the problems than add special tags to accommodate it.

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<script defer="defer" type="text/javascript" src="/jscripts/pngfix.js"></script>
<style type="text/css">@import url(/css/mpl-ie-lt7.css);</style>
<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css">@import url(/css/mpl-ie.css);</style>
<![endif]-->

What? Guido wrote those CSS workarounds for final, non-beta versions of IE. =p

Maybe the second one should be "lt IE 8", but it's only one line of code for the footer height, so I doubt it'll make much difference.

Stop spreading BS.

IE8 complies 100% to both ACID 1 and ACID 2, just like Firefox and Opera does. Its not fault that websites have IE hacks and its not websites' fault that they have to use IE hacks but now its up to the websites to fix it, not IE/MS.

then why don't Firefox and Opera mess up the website too?

Anyway, like said before, IE8 is still in beta and will (hopefully) be supported once it reaches its final stage

Yes, it's IE's fault. Had IE complied to standards the first time around there would have been no need for IE hacks.

First people complain that IE isnt standard and just make hacks
Now people make notice that IE IS standard and complain about the hacks that were in made the first time.
