IE8 Sees The Light

Internet Explorer 8 is changing its position on which rendering engine will be used for standards-compliant webpages.

Basically, if you have a standards-compliant page (doctype and all), it will use the new IE8 engine with all their changes. Before, it was going to be the IE7 mode. Of course, if your page has no doctype (Quirks mode), you still get the IE6 engine rendering mode.

Microsoft has made a bold choice, now it is up to us web developers to handle this correctly.
