Customising Internet Explorer 8 to Drive Users to Your Website

nzie8 — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 01:45:22 GMT

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.

Internet Explorer 8 Roadshow in New Zealand!

Hi All,

Come and have an overview of the new features and capabilities of Internet Explorer 8 straight from a senior member of the US based Internet Explorer team.

Jefferson Fletcher is a Senior Product Manager working on Internet Explorer. Since joining Microsoft in 1996, Jefferson has spent the bulk of his career in engineering and has helped to deliver end-user features in multiple versions of Windows and Internet Explorer. A Seattle native, he left life as a poor Political Science major at the University of Washington 12 years ago because earning some extra cash as a software tester sounded like a good idea. (He has yet to find his way back...)
