Hello Ranchers,

Our application was developed in IE6 and we have to make it IE8 compatible. There are lot of allignment issues, blocks of pages which are not displayed correctly and some of the functionality is being affected.
As the application contains a lot of javascript and css, and I barely have any experience in both of them.
Can you please provide any guide, links or anything which specifies the common problems and compatibility issues..

or can i find from anywhere what are the differences between ie8 and ie6?

Please help..

Jumping from IE6 to IE8 is like moving to a new country.

There is no guide to making it work other than coding CSS correctly and to standards and using CSS underscore and asterisk hacks to make it work in IE6.

What do you mean by asterisk and hacking in ie8.

There is no guide to making it work other than coding CSS correctly and to standards



Does that means i have to learn, how to code in CSS??

If you are writing web pages, absolutely. That's like saying "do I need to learn Java to write Java applications?".
