Hi All,

Nigel Parker from our developer and platform team in New Zealand has put together an excellent blog post on how to leverage some of the new features and functionality in IE8 to drive and enhance the experience users have with websites. Nigel has put together a collection of sample code and examples that the community can build on and leverage, to provide real value and a richer user experience for those using Internet Explorer 8.

In September we were fortunate to have Matt Heller over from the IE Team to deliver a roadshow across New Zealand to raise awareness and address questions and concerns that customers may have with the new version of our browser platform. We recorded our Auckland presentation, so if you weren’t able to attend, or you’d like a refresher, please check out the video online.

We have a wealth of resources available on our NZ IE8 Website, NZIE8 blog and the IE Team Blog so do check them out.

For the full details on Nigel’s examples and demos, see this blog post - http://blogs.msdn.com/nigel/archive/2008/11/13/customising-ie8-to-drive-users-to-your-website.aspx.

Nick.
