Thank you for visiting the Windows Internet Explorer Testing Center!

In conjunction with the Beta 2 release of Internet Explorer 8, we are posting the set of tests we are using to validate our interpretation and implementation of the CSS 2.1 specification. We are doing this so we can get some feedback from you, the web designers and developers, on the tests we have submitted to the W3C for inclusion into the W3C's CSS Working Group Test Suite.

We know how challenging it can be to build one site that works in every browser and we know it is just getting harder as the technology advances and customer expectations rise. The Internet Explorer team is committed to making it easier for you to build the web in a standardized way. Because there are ambiguities, options, and misinterpretations in any specification, we have created these tests to verify our current implementation of the CSS 2.1 specification in IE8 Beta 2. We welcome and desire your feedback on the tests prior to these becoming official tests in the CSS suite. Please post any corrections or additions you may have to the tests in the W3C's CSS test suite mailing list.

In addition to the CSS cases, we also submitted some tests to the WAI – ARIA working group as well. They’re actively working on creating a more accessible web for people that need assistive technologies to improve their web experience. Our first submissions are here

Thank you,
