I think IE8 is a great upgrade but I have found problems with online banking websites I get an Invaled Session warning and have to login several times before entering accounts.
Had this problem, with the beta version of IE8
the banks told me they have not resolved the issues yet and told me told to go back to IE7 which had no problems, well I tried the release version of IE8 and the old problems are back.
Has anyone else had problems with security login on banking or credit card sites?

I doubt the banks browser detection programming is ready for it. As far as the scripts are concerned, it's an unknown browswer.

and businesses have been designing for the older versions of IE.

It could be just that the user agent & build ID is unrecognized.

Have you tried the "quirks-mode" or whatever it is called?

If the bank uses ActiveX, it may not work with the new browser properly.

I just downloaded IE8 a few days ago and only today realized I am completely unable to login to my bank's website! After several unsuccessful attempts, two calls to my bank's tech folks I gave up and uninstalled IE8 and went back to IE7 where all worked fine before and still does. So for anyone who prefers to do their banking online I suggest asking if your bank's website can work with IE8, if not stick with version 7.
