Hello,

Thanks for reporting both issues. IE8 is still in beta testing (Beta 1) and Microsoft has still not committed to a release date. While we are working closely with Microsoft on this one and doing our best to provide support for the browser as earlier as possible, we also cannot commit and confirm support for browsers that are undergoing Beta programs and numerous changes as we speak.

I personally anticipate at least one additional major Beta release of the browser. Rest assured that when IE8 comes out, support for it will be available or if there are some breakin changes (which is close to impossible at this stage in browsers), we will be ready with fixes.
