IE8 CSS bugs
IE8 is a browser with good CSS 2.1 support.
Very few CSS bugs are mentioned here: this doesn't intend to be a complete list. Links to test cases and related (may be just in the same area) Microsoft Connect feedbacks are included.
- A background image on a box with overflow:auto (or scroll) wrongly moves 1 pixel up and down while scrolling, connect ref.
IE8 beta bug 389779.
- Not fully clickable link when absolutely positioned over content. This issue is present in older IEs as well.
- The outline of an inline element is incorrectly positioned when text-align justify is in effect, connect ref.
IE8 beta bug 435590.
- active pseudoclass not triggered on link text wrapped in an element.
- A block link is sometimes not clickable/hoverable on its full width (when it covers an ancestor's border). This issue is present in IE7 as well.
- Strange IE8 behavior with transitional doctype and an image alone in an element. IE8 beta bug 436819
- IE8 supports (like previous IE versions) the proprietary MS alpha opacity filter. However, differently than in previous IE versions, in IE8 when the MS alpha opacity filter is applied to an element with non-static positioned descendants, no transparency is applied to those descendants. In IE7- the filter (like the CSS3 opacity property in other browsers) applies opacity/transparency to all descendants.
- A block element with direction (rtl/ltr) different from the parent wrongly establishes a new block formatting context.
More extensive IE8 CSS bugs lists (in addition, of course, to MS Connect): Gerard Talbot, James Hopkins.
