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."
and then hosted it on a weak server so noone will see it. what a waste
SURELY NOT!!!!!
Unfortunately, for 90%+ of the population, mshtml IS the standard.
When did this TLD come about?
I know I'm going to hell, I'm just trying to get good seats.
works fine for me.....
Now if they'd just fix the stupid file upload breakage. Every other browser I know of sends just the name of the file, in the content disposition header, but IE sends the full path, like this:
C:\windows\Desktop\myfile.doc
instead of
myfile.doc
That's not too bad though - we can just trim everything after the last backslash. Except, that the ContentDisposition is a MIME header, so those backslashes are meant to be escaping the character after them. Therefore, the filename is really:
C:windowsDesktopmyfile.doc
So we have to have two different ways of parsing ContentDisposition, the right way, and the Microsoft way, and have to pick one depending on browser ID.</rant>
Slashdot looks fine for me, using Firefox 0.8 in Linux, heres my screenshot of it

Your hyperbole utterly destroys this sad attempt at a funny comment.
It's even sadder to feel the need to reply. I just have to accept that I'm even sadder than you now.
Why is this post modded insightful and interesting?
Moderators not getting a bad joke?
The other burning question is, how can being needlessly pedantic be considered "Insightful"?
That went and checked mozilla's website for the new version, only to be disappointed?

I am saddest of all. But will there be another...?
Aaaah, good to see you're back. I had missed your posts and updates.
But how do you know? You didn't see the ones that got modded down!
No
Umm, what's wrong with suggesting a browser that doesn't suck? Is any form of comment on slashdot NOT a troll anymore?
So just un-tick the 'Send Referrer' box on the prefbar.
I would think open source developers would prefer you send reefer.
I don't know WHY people keep going on about tabbed browsing. Having to use Mozilla (which is the crappiest browser I've ever used, imo) under Linux, the feature bugs me to no end...
IE > Mozilla.
