First Look At the ACID3 Browser Test

ddanier writes "Now that all major browsers have mastered the ACID2 test (at least in some preview versions), work on ACID3 has begun. The new test will focus on ECMAScript, DOM Level 3, Media Queries, and data: URLs. 100 tests will be put into functions each returning either true or false depending on the result of the test. The current preview of ACID3 is still missing 16 tests."

Te new test... Shouldn't that be Teh new test...?

No, no, no... As anyone can clearly see, that Te is an acronym for test engineering. So get off kdawson's back. We should appreciate his masterful skill at creating what's on the surface a fairly obvious typo, but in reality is a clever reference to the field that the article discusse.

You only saw "Te" because your browser rendered it incorrectly.

Can't we acid test the ACID Test server?

If it can't hold up, maybe it needs some work... :-)

Re:Where is the reference image from?

[patio11]

It's created by an advanced, custom-built browser which, for certain input, correctly renders a perfectly standards-compliant reference image. Just don't ask to use the browser on any other input.

Well, for IE6 it reports 100% of the standards as I can prove here! In your face Firefox!
