Something that's always confused me is the differences when opening recordsets with ASP. After doing some searching tonight I found this simple answer in this forum. Essentially when using Set rs = cn.Execute(sql) it opens a read only record set while when using rs.open(sql) it opens a recordset which could be read-only, write, etc. Supposedly the first version is more efficient if you're only reading through a table.

And here I first thought your site was having some kind of database error when I saw the title to this link on the homepage. Also, various parts of your homepage, are inside scrollable boxes on IE8, especially the content in the right column.
Looks like IE8 can't follow it's own rules, especially when I already have the backwards compatible meta tag on my site i.e http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7". The scrollbars appear because it must be choking on my overflow: auto; property which is what I use to give containers with floated children a height (so that adjacent elements clear it properly). Chris why are you using IE8 anyway?
I was running it since I was testing out the Windows 7 Beta under VirtualBox. Seems like a decent OS so far, then again, I've only used it for like 40 minutes.
I know I've read that they have different beta versions floating around. For example the Windows 7 beta might be one version of the beta while the official IE8 download is another. Either way, with the meta tag on my site, IE should render the site like it does in IE7.
