Microsoft released the final version of Internet Explorer 8 yesterday. This new version is regarded by many as a step in the right direction as it closes the gap, both speed and compatibility wise, to the other existing web browsers. There have been talks about webpage compatibility problems in Internet Explorer 8 before which can hurt a web browser’s reputation.
If you are using Internet Explorer 8 Beta and while browsing you come across web sites which have some problem as in rendering or scripting errors or any other type of problem you come across. And you wanted to report it, but where to? Now you have an add-on for IE8 Beta for reporting such problems directly to Microsoft.
"Report a Webpage Problem" is a new add-on for IE8 which allows users to submit a report to Microsoft for webpages they believe are having rendering problems, scripting errors, or various other types of problems.
It appears as a toolbar button and a "Report a Webpage Problem..." item on the Tools menu.
When the toolbar button is clicked or the menu item is chosen, the control takes a screenshot of the web page currently being viewed. A new tab is then opened containing a report submission form. A scaled down version of the screenshot will be visible at the bottom, and the user has a choice of whether or not to include the full-sized screenshot (choosing No to the "Include Screenshot?" question means no screenshot will be sent).
On the report submission page, the user also has the option to select a category best representing their observed problem. This category selection will be part of the report information returned to Microsoft.
A 1000 character limit comment field is provided, if the user chooses to include some description of the problem.
