Can we have a real javascript debugger and error viewing instead of 'mashups' in IE8? (without installing visual studio)Anonymous

Dan, it IS ALREADY there. Just right click on the toolbar, customize -> add and remove commands, and add Developer Tools.Anonymous

Ok so I tired IE 8 out on my web site tonight for the first time and found some messed up errors. For instance ASP.NET menus stopped working. Some odd alignment problems as well (I can probably fix those...hopefully without messing up IE 6 or IE 7) What I don't understand is (This really makes me laugh) my site is working perfectly in the latest Safari, Firefox 2.0 and 3.0, IE 6 and IE 7, and even Opera web browsers. Now IE 8 is suppose to be "standards compliant" and everything breaks? Umm what about those other companies? Pretty sure they are more compliant with standards then IE. Why such a difference?Anonymous

@Charles, have you even tried what I've suggested? Almost everything you are talking about IS THERE. Take a look at http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2008/03/07/improved-productivity-through-internet-explorer-8-developer-tools.aspx the second screenshot. See that Callstack button? Or breakpoint button? It's not firebug but still it is VERY helpful.Anonymous

Well don't bother waiting for the IE Blog team to give you the news, its already on the street. http://blogs.msdn.com/nickmac/archive/2008/05/26/microsoft-ie-8-beta-2-coming-are-your-websites-ready.aspx Nick MacKechnie (Senior Technical Account Manager at MSFT New Zealand.) spilled the beans on a Q3 (July/August/September) 2008 timeframe for Beta 2 release. Still no news on what it will contain in terms of regression fixes, new fixes or new features.Anonymous

@woil - Why would MS fix this minor alert() dialog issue when their prompt() dialog has been neglected for a decade? It has been laughed at and complained about by everyone in the industry yet MS hasn't changed it, fixed the bugs with it or even updated the chrome since it was first added to IE. Web Developers won't even use it now because IE broke it. It should be one of the most useful dialogs in the JavaScript toolbox but until IE supports it - no one can use it.

Will min-width and max-width be supported on select elements in IE8? It was annoying to hear that min/max-width were supported in IE7 only to find out that it didn't apply to all elements. TonyAnonymous

Oh and the chrome on the scroll bar of a select list is wrong in IE8B1. It looks like windows 3.1 styles.Anonymous
June 03, 2008
similar to Tony's comment I noticed that there are still no styling options in IE8B1 for options in a select list (e.g. I can't make a bold option) any chance this will be in IE8B2? Oh and Tony, in IE8B1 the min-width is still not supported.Anonymous

To Jeria. I hope that even if the comments are not answered, but for those comments and noted the error will be corrected. Personally, I still IE8 wait until it matured somewhat.
