Hello,
it's sad to say, but we actually just doesn't support IE 8. I know that there's no
newer version available on Windows XP, but this system is also unsupported since April.
Our support for IE is based actually on workarounds contributed by volounteers. Of course, proper
displaying of PHP.net in new browsers is on of our goals, however IE8 isn't new and current
versions made great progress.
I'm considering changing status of your report to "Won't be fixed", but of
course if anyone wants to contribute some fixes/workarounds for IE8, we will accept them and commit
into repository.
Best regards,
Maciej.

Description:
------------
The latest php.net site does not display properly in Windows IE 8 (and perhaps any IE). As a web
developer, I use several browser for testing. It can be an inconvenience when I happen to be using
IE to have to open a different browser just to see php.net. That's become a real nuissance as I
have heavely relied on php.net since 2000. That's 14 years now. ;( Would love to see this site
work in IE. I have tried with both Compat mode on and off. Am I possibly missing some other setting
to make php.net display better in IE? Thanks and sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.
Thanks! -Nicole
