I'm getting the following errors thrown up when I click on a row in an UltraWebGrid when using IE8.
Any idea when an IE8 compatability patch will be available?
Hello,
Thanks for reporting both issues. IE8 is still in beta testing (Beta 1) and Microsoft has still not committed to a release date. While we are working closely with Microsoft on this one and doing our best to provide support for the browser as earlier as possible, we also cannot commit and confirm support for browsers that are undergoing Beta programs and numerous changes as we speak.
I personally anticipate at least one additional major Beta release of the browser. Rest assured that when IE8 comes out, support for it will be available or if there are some breakin changes (which is close to impossible at this stage in browsers), we will be ready with fixes.
Now that IE8 is oficially release, when will you release update/patch/newRelease of UltraWebGrid?
Thanks

Hello All,
Now that IE8 is out, we will do our best to provide support for it asap of course. The only problem we have at this point is that the release time of IE8 more or less coincides with the release date of our ASP.NET 2009.1 release (very soon, beginning of April), so we will not be able to run our regression test suite and address everything we have outstanding for IE8. Therefore we will not be able to claim IE8 support with our 2009.1 release.
However, immediately after we ship 2009.1, IE8 will be our top priority, so please -- if you find any issues with IE8 that you need addressed -- contact and report them to Developer Support directly -- we will take care of them immediately:

Any feedback on this process is welcome. As always - we are listening.
PS. For more info on what to expect in our 2009.1 ASP.NET release, please take a look at the blog post by our PM, Taz:

I have found a work around for the sites I have built. I use master pages for most of my deisgns. In the <head> section of the master page I simply added the following line of code.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7"/>
This seems to have made IE8 render the page with the appropriate settings. I also use a javascript called shadow box. This is also throwing similiar errors without that code. I hope this helps some of you out there.
Hi guys,
X-UA-Compatible meta tag seems like a nice workaround for the IE8 compatibility hell. But i have a problem with it: according to my experiment and also http://www.cherny.com/webdev/103/the-ie-8-x-ua-compatible-meta-tag tag has to be positioned above any linked files or styles. Infragistics (2008vol3) by default insert css styles definitions as first child of <head> element and X-UA-Compatible meta tag has no effect !
Any suggestions?
ThanksOndrej
