Windows Internet Explorer 10 Consumer Preview Guide for Developers

[This documentation is preliminary and is subject to change.]

Purpose

The Windows Internet Explorer 10 Consumer Preview Guide for Developers provides an early look at the developer features coming to the next version of Windows Internet Explorer, as well as the latest HTML5, JavaScript, and Cascading Style Sheets, Level 3 (CSS3) features available to developers of Metro style apps using JavaScript for Windows 8 Consumer Preview. By using the documentation and samples in this guide, developers and designers can prepare to use these new features.

Important The contents of this guide apply solely to Internet Explorer 10, as well as to Metro style apps using JavaScript for Windows 8. This pre-release version of Internet Explorer 10 is only available on Windows 8. You can download Windows 8 from the Internet Explorer Feedback Program at Microsoft Connect or from the Windows Developer Center.

Internet Explorer 10 is not currently available for Windows 7. The most recent release for Windows 7 was Internet Explorer 10 Platform Preview Build 2, on June 29, 2011. Therefore, you will notice that the newer features mentioned in this guide are not yet available in the most recent version of IE10 Platform Preview for Windows 7. For a list of changes from Internet Explorer Platform Preview Build 2, see Revision History. For a comprehensive list of all new features, see below.

When it's released, Internet Explorer 10 will be available for Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server 8 Beta.

Listed here are new developer features for Internet Explorer 10. In addition to reading the guide, be sure to see the Release Notes for installation information and known issues, as well as the Internet Explorer Test Drive site for new demos and examples. You can also obtain detailed technical information about developer features by visiting the Internet Explorer Developer Center and the MSDN Library.

This pre-release version of Internet Explorer 10—as well as Metro style apps using JavaScript—contains support for the following developer features. Except where noted, these features work identically in Internet Explorer 10 and Metro style apps using JavaScript.

Developer audience

Internet Explorer 10 Guide for Developers is written for use by Web developers and designers, plus those interested in developing for Metro style apps using JavaScript in Windows 8, to learn about the developer features coming to the next version of Internet Explorer.

Impossible to log on to two sites

IE 10 will not allow me to log on to two sites - one is a my own web site on wix.com and the other is my account with i.materialise.com. Switching to Google Chrome there are no problems.... Haven't gotten around to trying all the sites I have to log on to.
