CSS Support IE 7.0's Weakest Link

Posted by timothy on from the can't-squash-superiors dept.

dilbertspace writes "Anyone who has ever developed a website knows that cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility is a nightmare, mainly due to Microsoft's willful non-compliance with the CSS2 standard. As this eWeek article points out, it seems Microsoft will continue their poor support for CSS2 even in the IE 7.0 release. This may have worked when IE was the only game in town, but now that Firefox is a serious player, it won't help them keep market share as they think it will."

    The public perception of the IE's security has declined.

    You mean it's improved, right?
