There is a problem with IE8 Beta displaying CSS dropdown menus - it dosent!!! :(

Workaround:

There is a temporary fix for IE8 beta 2 problems and that is to force it into IE7 emulation mode. Place the following immediately after the tag.

which menus? Had been using ie8 beta for a while and had no issues with several. moved onto rc1 now and have had no issues.

Pretty much any menu you're using CSS with LIs, DTs, etc for.

There is a shitload of CSS 2.1 stuff that IE8 Beta2 still fucks up. There are also a shitload of people who have downloaded Beta2 so, although a tiny concern - it is still a concern.

*Update - RC1 seems to have fixed most, all but 1 of my other issues were resolved with a doctype change.

I just registered to say thanks... your ie8 dropdown fix worked. Excellent work. May God Bless You. You saved me time and money... and from dealing with an angry client.
