Details On IE7 CSS Changes

writes "IE development team has released a list of CSS changes for IE7. Some of the notable new features are enabling :hover for all elements, and implementing position:fixed, and PNG transparency support. In addition, there is a long list of fixed bugs that plagued previous IE browsers for years. These changes (except for PNG transparency) only work under the <!DOCTYPE> switch to preserve compatibility with previous versions of IE."

Congrats to MS

They still continue to work hard to implement the CSS2 spec which came out 8 and a half years ago.
I'm excited to see if they can implement CSS3 in time for my retirement in 30 years.

Keep your node to the grindstone kids, I know you'll get there!

You said almost precisely this comment the day IE 7 came out. I remember laughing at your crying.

"It's be nice if Microsoft provided a list of every single unfixed bug in IE7 as well." There ain't enough storage space on the Internet for that.

Well, CSS3 is still in draft, so they may not have even started working on that.

Re:Does this mean..

[Billosaur]

Did somebody at MS hold a gun to your hand and demand that you use PNG?

Now listen, shee... you're gonna use PNG... and you're gonna like it! Or my six-shooter may have to loose some lead on you, shee? Nyah...

Re:PNG Support

[Supergibbs]

at least that is what MS says..... yeah for forced OS updating!

No, I'm sure they have alpha code that doesn't support it correctly.

Acid 2 Test

[kid_icarus75]

Have you seen the new IE 7 acid 2 test results? http://www.webstandards.org/files/acid2/test.html# top [webstandards.org] They made it even better than the old IE. Now there is stuff that moves when you mouse over it and some random scrollbars too! Kudos to microsoft for creativity!

Re:yeah, but when will they fix their damn DOM?

[Z34107]

These two bugs alone are responsible for the loss of two days of my life. Will Microsoft be giving those back to me with this release (which I can't install because I run a pirated copy of XP).

They'll give you those days back when you give them their $90. ^.^
