IE7 Big Disappointment Already

Featured Replies

Big deal. The biggest thing on my wish list was CSS Position: Fixed; but no, they couldn't be bothered with that. Just have to try to keep up with FF buzzwords like "Tabbed Browsing". Guess we are chained to CSS hacks or framesets forever. :}

To see what I mean try this page with fixed side menu done with css position-fixed. I made it work in ie with a stupid hack, but this is what it does without the hack. Works fine in FF and Opera (k-meleon and netscape too) but not IE6, not IE7. Boo Hiss :no:

Example

This is with the hack.

The difference is the left side should stay fixed, and the right side scroll. try it in FF and IE, you see the diff.

i love those tabs in netscape you can either open a new tab or close that tab for what ever web page you have open :D

is so you don't need to open another internet explorer window :)

utterly pointless post in regards to this thread...

I believe Beta1 was primarily aimed at SECURITY and that enhancements to CSS and HTML amonst others will be made for Beta2.

:thumbup i love tab browsers and i like ie7 . i know people will need time to get use to it probably resist the change because ie 6 and before all used the same basic design since win 95 but in closing the final should be good so long firefox bye bye opera .

Seems you are right again Alanoll.

I didn't find this before. Seems it's on the list along with my other wish, hover support for arbitrary elements. Sure hope it actually makes it into final release.

i may be wrong, but i'll guess that one of the primary underlying reasons for IE7 is to compete with google and dissable google related stuff (current or future). the latter may or my not happen right of way, but see if some "security patch" down the road doesn't do it. poor lil billy is mad at google and i'm lovin it!

So how many hundreds of Mb makes IE7? ...while you can get MAXTHON for free and on 1Mb...

wait a minute....

you're comparing IE to a "browser" that USES IE's engine to render it's stuff?

Well I certainly hope that security WAS the focus, because from the looks of it, all they have done is added tabs and changed the layout a bit.
