IE8 Root is not a box

Question posted by: dhtmlkitchen@gmail.com (Guest) on July 1st, 2008 07:45 AM
border, padding, outline do not apply:
javascript:void(document.documentElement.style.bor der='10px solid
red');
javascript:alert(document.documentElement.currentS tyle.borderWidth);

I see "10px" in the alert, but no border on HTML.

Similar results with padding, outline, margin.

The following may crash IE8:
javascript:alert(document.documentElement.style.di splay='none')

I still see it! FF3 fails here, too.

Now resize the window. Do you see a window? Right click in it. What
now?

Well, I assume that they probably are aware of these already. Some of
them appear here:

I've found way too many other bugs already. IE8 is pretty
disappointing so far.

Where is the bugtracker for IE8?
