AJAX Performance Measurement Methodology for Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2
By:
Dubey, Shreesh
Last updated: Wednesday, August 31, 2022
Published in: CODE Focus Magazine: 2008 - Vol. 5 - Issue 3 - IE8
Growing popularity of AJAX has led to increased use of JavaScript in creating dynamic and rich browser experiences. JavaScript has become the lingua franca of the Web and its performance has become an emerging differentiator in how the industry compares browsers. These attempts have so far been centered on the use of JavaScript micro-benchmarks. While this is a good first step, it is not sufficient in measuring end-user perceivable performance of AJAX applications. We used a more holistic methodology for measuring AJAX performance in Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2.

Great tools play a critical role in developer productivity, and while many web development tools exist, they likely don’t meet your needs in all tasks. For example, you may want to quickly debug JavaScript, investigate a behavior specific to Internet Explorer, or iterate rapidly to prototype a new design or try solutions to a problem.

Internet Explorer 8 New Accessibility Features
Last updated: Wednesday, August 31, 2022
Published in: CODE Focus Magazine: 2008 - Vol. 5 - Issue 4 - Windows Accessibility Focus
Windows® Internet Explorer® 8 has a lot of cool new features that make Web page browsing more accessible.I’m going to cover Caret Browsing, Zoom Version 2, High DPI, Accessibility Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) support and User Interface Automation (UI Automation) support. Caret Browsing is particularly helpful for low-mobility users. Zoom 2 and High DPI support targets low-vision users, and the new ARIA and UI Automation support targets screen-reader users. Low-mobility users prefer to use the keyboard or devices that interact with a virtual keyboard. Some low-vision users require specialized assistive software to interact with computers while others can do well with features and tools shipped with the operating system.

Introducing Compatibility View

Dickens, Scott

Published in: CODE Focus Magazine: 2008 - Vol. 5 - Issue 3 - IE8
Compatibility View allows access to content designed for older Web browsers. When a website says that it supports modern Web standards, Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 respects that and displays the site using its most standards compliant mechanism. In the majority of cases, this works out just fine. However, every once in a while, a page that says “display me using modern standards” really means “display me like Internet Explorer 7 used to display modern standards pages”. This is where Compatibility View comes in.

Can you imagine a world without search?I don’t think a single day goes by when I don’t do a least one Internet search. Internet search has gotten leaps and bounds better than what it started out as years ago; yet aside from adding a search box to the browser chrome, browsers, as of yet, have not significantly changed the way that users search online.
