Is IE8 backwards compatible with IE6? Doesn't that hold the browser back? If someone isn't writing for IE6, does than mean IE8 won't be fully utilized?

- sp332 17y agoIE7 and IE8 have an IE6 compatibility mode, which is normally not used unless the page is really broken. What's funny/sad is that "IE6 mode" is not 100% the same as IE6's rendering, so for a while web developers were afraid that they would have to support IE6, IE7, and "IE6 mode", but there was such an outcry that MS changed the defaults and it's almost never an issue in real life.
