Internet Explorer 7 – CSS 2.1 is priority, but what about CSS3
Internet Explorer 7 – CSS 2.1 is priority, but what about CSS3
Oct 10It seems the IE Team plans to do a quick job of making IE CSS 2.1 compliant, that means , it starts catching up with firefox standards wise but misses out looking into the future.
The caveat is only a doctype switch will enable compliance
In all, we made over 200 behavior changes (bug fixes or new features) under strict mode to improve CSS2.1 compliance. All this work (with the exception of transparent PNGs) has been done under the switch only, since all changes required behavioral updates to be more in line what the CSS spec specifies. To preserve application compatibility we will not make any behavioral changes to “quirks mode” as it has been established since IE6.What about css-3 features more particularly, device oriented, accesibility supporting programmatical language that the new genration promises to be.
While you and I can only debate, its heartening to note that they are looking at the comments of whoever can find them .
On another note, whats most interesting though is that a search for IE 7 ( linked as “find” above) has a certain IE7.com which has a big button for firefox and proudly claims “Neither this site nor Mozilla is connected with Microsoft. Get Firefox.”
Talk of the Netscape Days!
