The Design and Implementation of laffer1

Microsoft apparently released IE8 last week. I'm in the middle of installation now. It sounds like some of the standards compliance fixes will be good long term. I suspect this may break a lot of badly written sites. Some of the fixes could make it difficult to know a site working in IE8 will work in older versions. I suspect my laptop will stay on IE7 for some time.

Microsoft has added some interesting features to IE8. X-Frame-Options: Deny is a header that can be sent to block clickjacking. Thus someone cannot hide your page in a frameset in IE. X-XSS-Protection: 0 allows you to disable a new feature which looks for playback of scripts in a cross-site request.
