Making IE Standards Compliant
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."
I'm sure IE 6.05.1 will feature a small modification which happens to cause this fix to stop working. ;)
All that's missing now, is a stylesheet that'll close all remaining security holes... :*)
I think I'd personally be more interested in a stylesheet that redirects IE browsers to www.mozilla.org/ :) Or even better: crashes them.
Is ponder how to get over the Slashdotting of his site.
I'm sure the CSS is a work of technical art; seeing it would be even better.

Wow... who woulda thunk it?
on the root of the site (http://dean.edwards.name/) it says:
* This is my site
* for my personal use
* running on my machine
* in my kitchen!
jesus christ, someone create a mirror before his computer blows up from being slashdotted.
The power of IE is that it's broken but it may be possible to fix it?
I have a powerful car for sale if you're interested.
Judging by the loading lag, and eventual time out hes managed to make his webserver IIS compliant also ;)
...thems sound lik fightin' words :)
yehaw boys!!
Slashdot isn't valid HTML, so it doesn't _have_ a correct rendering ;-)

MS released a patch today to fix a major Security Bug in IE today. MS offcials say that a malisious hacker, is destroying websites around the world, by making them compatible with other web browsers. We at MS can abolutely not have any competion, so we are funding a $1 billion reward to the person who finds this man and breaks his even hack. We would do it ourselves but all 80,000 of our developers are busy trying to get longhorn out by 2010.
i thought once I was found, but it was only a dream.
Why does every post, which starts with the statement "This will probably get modded down", "Mod me down, but..." or similar get +5 Insightful? Reverse psychology, anyone? Mod me down, but that's the truth.
I imagine his ISP's going to want to have a few words with him about bandwidth usage...
There's a greater possibility that Microsoft will pay him to STFU.
"Honey, I feel a certain distance between us..." "Really? A 31ms ping ain't that bad..."
Did you hear? McDonald's heard about this move by Microsoft, and was inspired to imitate their strategy. McDonald's is now pushing through the Department of Agriculture to add "Big Mac" and "Chicken Nuggets" to the Food Pyramid, placing them just below the highly-coveted "Dairy Products" block. McDonald's argues that since such a huge percentage of the population is eating their food, everyone should consider their products a nutritional standard.
MS should pay $1 billion for preventing this guy from distributed this, eh? So...
/. members ever made...the site is already slashdotted!
:P
That'd be the easiest money

I'd send it back with a note:
It looks good overall; just remove the two commas and change the period to a question mark. I'm happy to help.
