CSS Support Could Be IE7's Weakest Link

Posted by Zonk on from the who-uses-that-css-stuff-anyway? dept.

Ritalin16 writes "Many web developers may be disappointed to hear that Microsoft decided to hold off on full CSS2 support with IE 7.0. As said by Microsoft-Watch: 'One partner said that Microsoft considers CSS2 to be a flawed standard and that the company is waiting for a later point release, such as CSS2.1 or CSS3, before throwing its complete support behind it.'" More commentary available from ZDNet. Generally related to the IE 7 Acid Test thrown down by Opera.

    One of the major benefits of CSS is you can specify CSS files for differing display devices.

    IE may be the master in the desktop browser market, but the more companies want to deliver their web applications to non-desktop platforms (cell phones, pda's etc) the more they will be coding using w3c standards.

    MS can't fight innovation forever.
