Some serious problems with IE8:Link

when IE8 detects an error which, as weâ€™ve seen, can be invoked by certain CSS property combinations, the browser will fall-back to rendering that document (and entire domain) in Compatibility View. ... If however, you do force Standards Mode in this instance, IE8 will display a blank page.

....itâ€™s quite astonishing to think that itâ€™s possible to invoke complete page blankness simply by using a combination of CSS properties.

Bug Testing

First off, let me expell some myths - a) IE8 is not fully CSS 2.1 compliant, b) passing Acid 2 does not mean a browser is fully CSS 2.1 compliant and, c) creating and passing 7000 or so of your own tests also does not mean youâ€™re fully CSS 2.1 compliant.

If youâ€™ve been keeping track of my IE8 bugs page, youâ€™ll see thereâ€™s been a steady stream of additions to the list - it currently stands at 51 CSS bugs.
