IE8 Beta Feedback

It’s exciting when we have a new beta to release! The launch of IE8 developer beta is a huge milestone, and we have set up various mechanisms to collect feedback. Before I list out all of our feedback channels for IE8 betas, I want to explain what we learned from our experience with IE7 feedback.

We were thrilled but a little overwhelmed by the amount of input we got in IE7.  Frankly, we couldn’t keep up and really do a good job handling the free-form bug entries.  So we want to try something new for IE8.  We’ve asked our best bug finders from IE7 and other Microsoft beta programs to handle the bug reporting.  (Note: We’ll keep evaluating our invite list and add promising new people as we find them --  and removing ones who aren’t delivering).

Everyone will be able to see the bugs they enter and vote on the ones they think are most important.  There are instructions how to do this at the end of this blog.

We also have built ways to help us collect feedback in automated ways from everyone.  Some of these are technologies you’re probably familiar with like the Customer Experience Improvement Program, which gives us real world usage data like “how many times people click the back button in a session,” and information when IE crashes or hangs.  We have also added a new tool called “Report a Webpage Problem…” to help report website compatibility issues. 

So here is the more detailed listing of our feedback channels:

• IE8 Technical Beta - We are inviting a group of beta testers from around the world to do beta testing of IE8 and provide us with bugs.  These beta testers commit to spending time with IE8 betas and file bugs when they observe unexpected behaviors.  The IE team will be evaluating this set of bugs, looking for the most impactful bugs to all of our users.

• Public Votes on IE8 Technical Beta bugs – We want to be transparent about the bugs reported by our beta testers, therefore the bug database for the IE8 Technical beta will be available for everyone to view and vote on issues. , You can sign up here:  https://connect.microsoft.com to view the Internet Explorer 8 Technical Beta program. (Note: registration on the Microsoft Connect site is required.)

• Report a Webpage Problem Tool - We have released another tool to help us capture website compatibility issues.  The Report a Webpage Problem is a control that can be downloaded and installed in IE8. When you encounter a site that is not rendering correctly, you can submit a report.  We use these compatibility reports to populate our compatibility test suite with real site issues seen by users around the world. 

• Automated Customer Feedback – Internet Explorer uses an automated system to collect real-world data about the causes of customers' pain—primarily about crashes and hangs, as well as data that gives us a picture of how IE8 is being used in the real world.  The IE8 betas will be opted in by default to Customer Experience Improvement Program, so we can use this automated data to inform us on issues that are affecting beta customers at large. 

• IE Beta Newsgroup – This new newsgroup is the all-in-one place to discuss items about IE8 betas.  Our Microsoft MVPs and IE team members will monitor this newsgroup.

So, what do you do if you believe you have an issue that the IE team needs to know about? Here are the steps we encourage you to take:

1. Read the IE8 Release notes – we try to outline most of the known issues in this document at the time of release. 
2. Visit the Internet Explorer 8 Technical Beta program on Connect (https://connect.microsoft.com) and view bugs in the database. Note: you must register on the Microsoft Connect to search for your issue
3. If you find your issue, please rate it (vote for it). This will help us understand how many people find this issue important
4. If you don’t find your issue, you can visit the IE beta newsgroup and post your issue there. Members of the technical beta will be monitoring this newsgroup and can file a bug about the issue on your behalf in the technical beta

If you want to request being added to the IE Technical Beta, you can send email to: IESO@microsoft.com, Subject: Apply for IE Tech Beta, and tell us why you are a great beta tester.  There is a limit to the number of people we will add, so if you don’t make it in, please follow our guidelines above when you encounter issues.

Thanks and happy beta!

Kellie Eickmeyer
Lead Program Manager

  Honestly, we're not sure yet what we'll do with the bug tracking after RTM. We want to make sure that any feedback channels we have that we keep alive are ones we can continue to respond to, so we'll see how well the system works before we decide. We've definitely heard the feedback that people want us to keep it alive.

  Hey IE Team, I just installed IE8... very impressed so far! Just some observations:

1. Favorites Bar... when you hover over multiple folders on the favorites bar, you shouldn't have to click each folder to make them drop down... hovering should be sufficient if you've clicked on a folder already.
2. What is the "grayed out" effect of web addresses meant to serve?
3. When you use the "Add to Favorites" option within the Favorites menu, it would be more intuitive if it were like the "Pin to Start Menu" option rather than duplicating the folder.
4. Not sure if it was possible in IE7, but very awesome on changing the View for the History listing!
5. Love the "Activities" option and can't wait to see more!
6. WebSlices are a cool idea, so again I can't wait to see more!
7. Crash recovery seems to be working well too... I've had it crash twice, but always at times where I was mucking about with a lot of things at once.
8. Please give us a Download Manager!
9. NICE!!! at the bold RSS Feeds that are unread. Performance does seem pretty decent so far, so I look forward to seeing the progression to the final product. I'm sure I'll post more things as I continue to play.

  GoodThings2Life, Thanks! Re: web addresses, we'll blog more about that later too, but briefly, we highlight the domain name and dim everything else back to help users know where they are on the web. A common ploy for phishing attacks is to spoof the URL so it looks like a legit domain; this feature makes those kinds of attacks more difficult.

  Nice beta, but I already found something: The text selection tool is very buggy. Examples: If you select some text and drag the cursor over some whitespace the selection is inversed. If you select some text with list elements (e.g the article on this page) the elements disappear (or is this a feature?) Text selection is generally slowish and flickers. Anyways, can't wait for the final

  Very impressive guys. While IE7 was an OK release (I did like the streamlined UI), IE8 really looks promising already. I noticed how Activities has been something you've guys developed for a long time. :) http://labs.live.com/Entity+Extraction.aspx And all the other latest goodies sound awesome too. But I'm still waiting to hear:

1. Skins support
2. Easier to make add-ons
3. Support for other OS's
4. Fancier looking zoom control (like Office 07')
5. Rendering on mobile devices (WinMo?)
6. Live "Tab" Thumbnails
7. Most of the goodies that's been available in IE7 Pro for a long time already.
8. Tabbing history.
9. Better inline search
10. View web page source code. Still waiting. Keep up on the good work guys.

  Looks good so far. Just curious. Are there any news regarding JavaScript events (e.g. addEventListener, capturing phase, domready, ...)? What's about things like getComputedStyle? HTML5 activeElement would also be great for web applications. And yes, as mentioned somewhere above. PNG gamma correction is a must. Also in IE7, it was not possible to combine CSS filters e.g. grey() with PNG images. Same effects like using AlphaImageLoader in IE6 before. Any news on this? Anything planned for the final?

  Why is there a horizontal scrollbar on every single page I visit? That is really annoying. Also I tried out the meta switch at that works really slick. I will be using that on my site from now on until I can get the site working properly in IE8. Oh also yahoo mail sniffs out the browser and rejects me from using IE8.....you might want to contact them, i mean they only have millions of users.

  Loving what I am seeing in IE8.  The favorites bar available in full screen mode - awesome thank you!!!!  I can finally use full screen mode! Launching an entire folder from the favorites bar - again another request of mine making my life soooo much easier! The new "blank tab" appearance -> Very nice, it actually has a finished look now. Now I just have to figure out why Ctrl-Alt-Del's page doesn't render right so I can tell the right person the right thing.  Works fine in IE7 emulation mode tho (which is also a nice new feature) I'm liking IE8...

  "Your microsoft connect site is a poor excuse for a bug reporting tool." If there is one thing MS are doing very very badly it is this... I respect the IE team for wanting to get this right but they have not learned the most important lesson from IE7. Please IE team, get a decent bug reporting system up and running ASAP, this ms connect system is as useless as trying to keep track of bugs on a roll of toilet paper with a leaky pen in a hurricane. There are plenty of "very good" open source options for tracking bugs, swallow your pride and do yourselves a favour, track bugs properly. Apart from that its nice to get my hands on the browser, so far I can see CSS hasn't been fully implemented, I'd suggest this should be a priority before beta 2, there goes 50% of the bug reports right there.

  One thing that bothers me are two CSS "errors" I've found that can affect a lot of websites. The first one regardin negative margins and floats; the second and, I think, the most critical one, regarding links with display: block and parent divs. Long story short: the first one (negative-margins) is something like: if you have two blocks floating besides each other, then a clearing div below them, but have one of the divs get a negative-margin greater than it's own width which makes it overlap above the other div, the clearing div ignores the div with the negative margin applied; but if the negative margin is less than it's own width, the footer div clears it properly. The second one involves anchors with display: block on them. If you set an anchor to 100px width, 100px height, display: block and a border, then put the anchor inside a div, the area of the anchor that has no text nor border is NOT clickable... but if it's out of the div, it is. position: relative on either the container div or the anchor itself seems to fix this. I've described and fixed both problems in my blog (http://metalize.liveonstyle.com/2008/03/06/errores-del-ie8-parte-2/) but it's something that should not happen to begin with (having to add position: relative to a link in order for it to be clickable is just unnecessary in my opinion). You can see both problems here: http://sausage.rolled.at/articles Negative Margin and float problem http://metalize.liveonstyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/ie-error-links.html link problem showed (try to pass your mouse cursor over here: http://metalize.liveonstyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/zona-error-link.gif ) http://metalize.liveonstyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/ie-error-links-fixed.html  link problem fixed

  I got problem with many web pages like google maps or similar mapy.cz - i believe this problem is because theese pages thing that I have stupid old IE rendering so when I switch to IE7 mode it works OK as they got this hacked. The problem is, that this switching need restarting of IE, and this is the reason why i cannot use it as most of the webs are in IE8 mode problematic, and i'm not going to support IE 7 mode. I wondered how to solve it, it will not be easy, but i would prefer to change the user agent info (and other common ways of browser detection), so it will mask as other browser, so that it can fully show its compatibility with standards without beeing afected by that ones who use e.g. conditional comments for IE => 7

  Hi there! Awesome work you've done. I found some strange CSS problem:

1. using together the writing-mode: tb-rl; and overflow: auto; properties make the content disappear.
2. in some cases the header counter breaks. I found that this problem is comes up when the :before and :after is set on an other element and placed somewhere after the first <h1> element. CSS: h1 { counter-increment: chapter; counter-reset: section -1; } h2 {counter-increment: section;} h1:before {content: "Chapter " counter(chapter) ". ";} h2:before {content: "Section " counter(chapter) "." counter(section) " ";} span:before, span:after{content:'"';} Cases: a) this works well: <span>Lorem ipsum</span> <h1>First Chapter</h1> <h1>Second Chapter</h1> <h2>First Section of Second Chapter</h2> <h2>Second Section of Second Chapter</h2> <h1>Third Chapter</h1> <h2>First Section of Third Chapter</h2> b) counter breaks after first: <h1>First Chapter</h1> <span>Lorem ipsum</span> <h1>Second Chapter</h1> <h2>First Section of Second Chapter</h2> <h2>Second Section of Second Chapter</h2> <h1>Third Chapter</h1> <h2>First Section of Third Chapter</h2> c) counter breaks after second: <h1>First Chapter</h1> <h1>Second Chapter</h1> <span>Lorem ipsum</span> <h2>First Section of Second Chapter</h2> <h2>Second Section of Second Chapter</h2> <h1>Third Chapter</h1> <h2>First Section of Third Chapter</h2> d) etc... :) e) Without the span:before, span:after{content:'"';} css property, all cases pass. f) If we use this <span> before we start counting, the counter won't breaks even if we place another <span> after the first <h1> element. So this works well: <span>Lorem ipsum</span> <h1>First Chapter</h1> <h1>Second Chapter</h1> <span>Lorem ipsum</span> <h2>First Section of Second Chapter</h2> <h2>Second Section of Second Chapter</h2> <h1>Third Chapter</h1> <h2>First Section of Third Chapter</h2>

wishlist:

• support <q> element :)

  Negative:

• Those dashed border lines around clicked href's which firefox has and we all hate them. They are also off in some links, like there is minus offset to the actual link.
• Text selection is somehow buggy, and get's inverted for no reason.
• Weird behaviour with floating div's, refreshing results in different positioning. Positive:
• Well havent used it enough yet to find anything positive :) Seems a bit scary how many websites are buggy with IE8, designers will have their work cut out for them! :)

  What exactly triggers (e.g. where is the list) the fallback to Quirks mode from Standards in IE8? I have a site, that rendered just fine in standards mode in IE7, that now triggers Quirks. a.) It has a valid Doctype b.) The HTML markup is well-formed (XSL generated) c.) No references to document.all or other legacy IE-only JS This is rather frustration because the rest of the site works fine, it is just 1 or 2 pages that fail. Thanks.

  Can't wait for you to re-enable the "Open these tabs next time I load Internet Explorer" feature.   Also, along with this feature, Opera does an excellent job with this.  When you open up Opera again, not only do you get all of your previous tabs, but you also still retain the history from your last browser session.  You can hit the back button and go to a previously viewed page from the last time you used Opera.  Brilliant!

  @Jeff: Did you try starting IE8 without addons?  http://www.enhanceie.com/ie/troubleshoot.asp In particular, see if you have an add-on called "DriveLetterAccess" enabled. @Stanley, do you have the URL?  Or can you send us a capture (www.fiddlercap.com)? @Nick Lowe: Stay tuned to the IEBlog for more information about why domain highlighting behaves this way.

  For the favorites bar, I believe it would be better to separate the favorites drop down and add to favorites icons/buttons onto another section of the page.  I personally like it where it's at right now in IE7. I use the favorites toolbar profusely each and every day and the more real estate I can have, the better. Also, there is a weird problem with IE8 and Outlook Express 6. I change the actual default read and compose fonts from Arial to Verdana, size 9 or "smaller." In doing so, with IE7, every message via the newsgroups that comes through is displayed in the font Verdana, size 9. Upon installing IE8, immediately I see changes in the font that is displayed within Outlook Express 6. It is no longer Verdana.  It overrides my own setting and changes the font to Times New Roman, size 12. I have many more bugs.  I am asking to be put into the technical beta so I can submit some of these valid bugs that I am finding. Please consider me!

  I have some "autocomplete" like widgets that float a DIV absolutely above a page. This still works in IE8B1, but when I mouseover the DIV, the onmouseover event is triggered on TEXTAREA elements underneath my floating DIV (with 100% opacity, background-color: #ffffff;) Note, it does not happen on INPUT type="text" elements that lie under the DIV (even though they have the same onmouseover event handlers applied. I should also note, that it only occurs where whitespace around the nodes in the DIV occur.  Thus links, and spans of text in the DIV will not trigger the event, but in the whitespace (margin) between elements it does trigger the event. I wonder if the fix for Bug 229: http://webbugtrack.blogspot.com/2008/02/bug-229-not-everything-is-absolute-in.html Accidentally exposed (e.g. propagated) additional events to the underlying elements. PS I would file a proper bug report on Connect and all that, but I have yet to be granted permission to submit bugs. TIA

  Has anyone checked the rendering with right-to-left sites? IE8 standards mode completely fails to render right-to-left sites. Right alignment sometimes ignored, positioned elements do not appear where they should, floats disappear, etc.... Some text shows squares although the encoding is correct. I use XHTML 1.0 Transitional and IE8 VPC image.

  The DPI model has changed!! IE8 scales all the images to the DPI settings of Windows. This is undesired, DPI until now was only applied to the fonts, this was OK because that way one could make text easy to read (nowadays displays have too small pixels!) without distorting the images. Is this a bug or is this gonna stay like this? If so is there any workaround or way to get the old behavior? See screenshot and explanation here: http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/222/ie8bemz3.png

  Another bug with CSS background images. I have a DIV, with a background image (top left, no-repeat)... with padding-left to offset the text content away from the "watermark" image. This works fine (in IE6,7,8B1) However, in IE8B1, when I select the text inside the DIV, the CSS background-image is re-applied (additional) to my selection background, with a new origin at the origin of my text selection. Again, I would file a bug report, but have thus far been declined an invitation.

  On Vista x64 SP1, after installing IE8 the fonts chosen in Windows Mail are no longer respected. When reading newsgroups, the font is always Times New Roman, regardless of the font chosen in the Tools->Options->Read->Fonts. I have always set this to Verdana, but now the font is locked to Times New Roman and cannot be changed.  Not a big deal, but I hate reading in TNR.

  I second the question of javascript events from Sebastian Werner. I was under the impression that the standard would be implemented in IE 8 (at least many of the comments during the development of IE 7 lead me to think that). Considering the direction towards standards by default that IE 8 is taking, I think it is imperative that it also support the standard event model. Can you please provide some idea of which IE 8 beta will deliver the standard event model for javascript? As a wishlist item:  How hard would it be for IE to use the Webkit engine?  If we (the web development community) could coalesce around a single rendering engine and build as fancy a wrapper as you desire, it would obviously go a very long way toward interoperability.  Just imagine IE, Firefox and Safari all having an option to use the same rendering engine with all of the development resources enhancing it instead of everyone duplicating the effort.

  I have found issues regarding IE8, but seeing that most of it are already discussed, I don't think I need to mention it. Let me mention this one again though: It's such a memory hog!! I found one VERY nice feature that you improved though: the search (ctrl+f) function. Before, when I type a keyword and I'm already searching through the middle pages, and I click the page to scroll (review) it a bit then go back to Find and click next, it will start from the top! This is so frustating when there are many instances of the keyword you are searching in that page. I'm happy to see in IE8 that the moment you click next after reviewing (scrolling the page, selecting texts, etc...), it will start from where it left off. Nice! Thanks.

  I agree with pretty much everything above. Also the dropdown's and text inputs look horrible! They were decent in IE7, are the "new ones" temporary or will they actually look so bad in the final release? I also noticed that checkboxes and radio's dont have margin anymore. The same old search is a big disappointment, just not as near practical as it should be! Good job with everything else, and for hearing our comments!

  I'm quite impressed with IE8b1, especially with the page zooming now working properly. There is however one thing I'd like to request:

• Add a shortcut key to reset zooming to 100%. Most browsers use Ctrl+0 (the number zero) here, and I think it would also be appropriate for IE.

  I've tried IE 8 for a little while now. Seems okay. Hotmail doesn't seem to work though; it hangs after I login. music.yahoo.com also doesn't act properly (rendering issues). IE also seems to use more memory now (though as a beta, I suppose that's not out of the ordinary). I like the auto-recover feature especially. Feature request for Beta 2: incremental find (like in Firefox). Incremental find and Firefox 2.x's (non-automatic) recovery feature are the two main reasons that I stopped using IE for most purposes.

  Asking people to install virtual machines to test different browser versions just makes it costly for us to do properly.  I already have one machine for testing IE6 and another for Firefox, IE7, Firefox and Safari.  There's no way I'm setting up yet another for IE8, at least until I'm forced to, and I'm not a big fan of being forced to do stuff by monopolists. The real reason that it's like this is so that Microsoft can claim it's impossible to remove IE from Windows. The practicality of it is that it makes everyone else's lives a nightmare. Come on guys, there's no non-monopolistic reason for not making browser versions able to install into seperate directories and run side-by-side on the same PC.  When I can test at least IE7 and 8 on the same machine, maybe then I'll be happy to help test IE8.  If everyone took this stand you'd be forced to do it yourself -- maybe then the costs would force a rethink about forcing stuff on people.

  IE 8 looks great. But found a few issues, hope this may help I am trying to use the Emulate IE7 as some of the pages I was trying to visit were broken. Identified 3 important issues.

1. When I use the vertical scroll bar it comes down but again it goes on to the top. It happens randomly
2. When I use favorites it crashes my IE
3. I think still it has some issues displaying CSS based sites. The width and the height are a bit abnormal to what I see with Ie7. The Emulate IE7 doesnt work exactly as its expected to work(I still happen to see the same way as I see some sites on IE8). Whereas while using IE7 they rendered properly.

  [quote] IE unfortunately has no way to distinguish between these two different uses reliably.  Google could avoid this problem by using a different URL parameter name when tracking you. [/quote] Errrm; isn't it a little arrogant of MSFT to suggest that other websites should change the way they do things in order to fix a problem in a MSFT product?! I realise you guys see Google as a major competitor, but this sort of arrogance results in your customers being caught in the cross-fire. No; I think you need to fix the issue in your product. BTW: Don't take this as a 'flame', I'm actually really glad that MSFT are acting to get IE standards compliant - keep up the good work.

  Firefox users always brag about the number of extensions freely available. Why doesn't Microsoft sponsor contest(s) for the best FREE extensions with some worthwhile cash prizes? You'll throw $200 mil into facebook, why not spend a few hundred grand to create more reasons for people to use IE? It's a win-win situation for everyone. I would liked to have see the ability to drag a link to an existing tab :/ Opening a new tab is fairly slow and you have to open sidebar again in new tab (I keep sidebar open with Onfolio or other things sometimes). This is one of the things I really like in Firefox. Thank you.
