March 2009

Microsoft has recently released its latest version of its web browser IE8. This has been totally rebuilt to compete with the increasingly popular Firefox and Safari browsers.
This new release now offers a wide range of new features, which include:

• A smart address bar, helping you to find the site you want to visit.
• New tab groups.
• A redesigned “New Tab” page.
• Reopening of the last browsing session.
• And an enhanced find on page.

As with all new releases, this has created problems with existing sites. All of our clients who are part of the First Step Service and Next Step Service have now been tested and updated with latest fixes for Internet Explorer 8.
If you are not part of the Next Step Service, please feel free to contact us so we can organise a test and updates for your website.
For more information on Internet explorer 8 you can visit their website
