Making IE Standards Compliant

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the clever-css-tricks dept.

spin2cool writes "Dean Edwards has taken it upon himself to make Internet Explorer W3C compliant. How? Well, it isn't by patching the application, as you might suspect. He's created a stylesheet, dubbed 'IE7' that uses DHTML to load and parse style sheets into a form that IE can understand. Just include the style sheet in your HTML pages, and things should render correctly. The complexity of the CSS transformations is really amazing and shows off the power of this stuff."

    What the hell does Slashdot care? You're going to get a bunch of comments about how standards are great, and this story was posted, yet Slashdot maintains a piece of shit website that looks like it was coded by monkeys on meth.

    Table layouts, font tags, broken and improper HTML... what the fuck. "STANDARDS ARE GOOD! YAY! But we're too fucking lazy and stupid to implement them."

    Slashdot. Hypocrisy for everyone!

    and this cannot be overridden by any future version of IE or other Microsoft extensions

    I would like to request access to your amazing time machine so that I too can make bold announcements of what can and can't be done in the future.
