New IE7 Information Announced

Brandon writes "Looks like the IE team is trying to catch up to some of the major OS browsers. They have finally added proper PNG support and have fixed numerous CSS bugs. The full post is on The Official IEBlog." From the post: "We're doing a lot more than this in IE7, of course, and we're really excited that the beta release is almost here - we're looking forward to the feedback when we release the first beta of IE7 this summer. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to beta."

IE isn't all of it.

If MS wanted me to use a new version of internet explorer, they'd also need to prove why I should switch back to XP from linux. I haven't even been running it for a week and I like linux better than windows.

Re:min-width and hacks

Max width enforcement? Trivial. Just use a table:

<table width=600><tr><td>stuff</td></tr></table>

raw numbers as above are pixels, or you can say 80% and it'll leave 20 percent free. With center, this appears as equal margins:

<center><table width=80%><tr><td>stuff</td></tr></table></center>
