Follow these steps, to make your webpage IE8 compatible. Feel free to add more pointers in comments.

1. Make your webpages Xhtml 1.1 compatible by adding this on top of your .aspx or .html page

< ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
< !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

2. Remove all Inline Styling

Donot use inline styling

[table style="width:100px;height:200px;background-color:#ebebeb;"] [/table]

Instead use

.tableStyle1 {
width:100px;
height:200px;
background-color:#ebebeb;
}

[table class="tableStyle1"] [/table]

Replace ‘[' & ']‘ with ‘< ' and '>‘

3. Validate your CSS using

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/#validate_by_uri+with_options

Profile : CSS Level 2.1
Medium : ALL
Warnings : ALL or Normal Report

4. Use XHTML equivalents for outdated / deprecated html tags

The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object ‘ ‘. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.

Today I got this error when I was trying to import a CSV file into Access database 2003. Even though I was trying to load this from my C: drive I was getting this error.

After couple of tries found that filename “currentproc.20090531.csv” had an extra “.”  and that was the problem.

So renamed the file to 20090531.csv and it worked

Happy importing.

The fix is

The three Superpowers …

 

Google Search

Firefox Browser

Wordpress Software

Power of Three

The one common attribute in all of the above is “features & usability”. 

Google Search : Amazing search results on anything and everything.

Firefox : Just think of any “genuine” feature you need. Its already available as plugin. (Power of Open Source)

Wordpress : The architecture is unbelievable. Again, think of any feature, theme,  its already available. It takes one extra step by handing over the source file itself. (Power of Open Source)

In future something better will come, atleast for next few years these 3 will rule and make life easier for designers and developers.

Note: Its a belief there is one almighty which gives whatever you ask for.
