The first person to mention Maxthon (It uses the IE Trident Engine) If MS just goes to school on what Bloodchen has created then IE7 will be a knockout. And to those who keep harping on about standards, IE IS THE de facto standard (A de facto standard, for instance, is a technical or other standard that is so dominant that everybody seems to follow it like an authorized standard. The de jure standard may be different:) Just my 5 cents worth! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> only because MS is trying to force their things onto us doesn't mean its a standard. And HTML/CSS standards are formed by the w3c of which even MS is a part of. So what do you think ? btw tell this the webmasters who try to build valid xhtml/css pages. Are you a webmaster after all ? Because if you were, you wouldn't be talking like this [edit] just in case : Validate your homepage The way microsoft cares for IE and its engine is only hindering web innovation. Why do you think css2 or 3 were invented ? to make things easier or harder for webmaster ? if MS doesn't implement it that only means to me that they don't care for me or other webdesigners.
well, firefox at least supports xhtml mime type, position:fixed; :first-child, margin:auto for non strict doctypes, + operator, etc. and i don't think that the KHTML engine handles css better than gecko.
Someone please tell me why I don't like fanboys who have absolutely no arguments ? If MS has the guts to get xhtml, better css2 and transparent png support into IE7, than I'll be very happy. It would ease my life as webdeveloper. But with MS's current attitude towards standards I don't see this happening anytime soon.
