New IE7 Information Announced

Posted by Zonk on from the the-web-has-standards? dept.

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."

  1. nuts to -moz-border-radius by rebug · · Score: 5, Informative

    Instead of implementing a vendor-specific tag, why not support the proposed CSS3 border-radius property?

    there's more than one way to do me.

    Then I probably shouldn't tell you about Maxthon or any of the other IE wrappers that add tabs and retain all the ActiveX holes.

  3. min-width and hacks by UnConeD · · Score: 5, Informative

    Internet explorer actually treats width and height as min-width and min-height. Very annoying if you don't want it, but you can use it like this:

    select {
    min-height: 100px;
    _height: 100px;
    }

    IE will (mysteriously) ignore the underscore prefix and parse the second style, while compliant browsers only recognize the min-height style.

    This shows that the important question is in fact not "how many CSS bugs will IE7 fix?" but "how many CSS bugs will IE7 keep?". These bugs are currently needed to make IE6 behave properly. If IE7 fixes the rendering bugs but keeps the parsing bugs, we'll have to figure out new bugs to update the IE6-only hacks with.
