One reason to download Internet Explorer 8 (IE8)

Posted in Programming by Personalife on the June 13th, 2008

Is that Microsoft finally wised up and built in their own Firebug-like debugging area. It’s not completely like Firebug, but it’s better than using Visual Studio or no debugger at all.

I hate Internet Explorer, but it can’t be helped as the platform our software runs on is IE-based. We’re doing our best to have Firefox compatibility as well, however.

If you have to work with IE frequently, or need to debug it and cannot afford Visual Studio, I strongly recommend downloading the beta. Another cool feature is that you can switch to IE7 emulation on the fly, since IE8 and IE7 are quite different in terms of rendering.
