  Why Isn't IE8 Passing Acid2?
Time: 15:52 EST/20:52 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Although we said that IE8 Beta 1 passes the ACID2 test, some of you may be seeing results like the image above; we thought we should explain whats going on. IE8 passes the official ACID2 test hosted on http://www.webstandards.org/files/acid2/test.html. (Note, this seems to be a popular destination at the moment. You may have trouble reaching the site.)There are also a number of copies of this test around the net. One popular copy that Ive seen of late is http://acid2.acidtests.org/

IE8 fails the copies of ACID2 due to the cross domain security checks IE performs for ActiveX controls. Since IE does not natively handle HTML content in the OBJECT tag, but rather uses IEs rendering engine as an ActiveX to display this HTML content, the same cross domain security checks also apply.
