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."

    Perhaps we should start yelling at the submitters of dupes instead of the editors. Yes the editors have responsibilities, but if noone submitted dupes then there'd be no problem. Cut it off at the source.

    "All i ask is that MS would play fair and stop trying to rewrite standerds just as they have a little supposed problem with some parts of them.
    Standerds are so very important for a fair market , and we cant have one company just deciding to make their own rules , and i know MS is not the only company guilty of this , But They are in the lime-light today"

    All I ask is that you play fair and stop trying to rewrite the standards and learn English.
