IE 7 yippedy do

Filed under: work solutions, web development — Tom @ 12:09 pm

Via webstandards the details on IE7’s fixes to microsoft’s implementation of CSS are out at the IE blog. Of particular interest to me is this: ”

<?xml> prolog no longer causes quirks mode

Cool, does not having it cause quirks mode for IE7? Because right now, since IE6 is idiotically implemented such that an <?xml> prolog does cause quirks mode, help.unc.edu strips the prolog to make sure that IE6 goes into standards mode - quirks mode causes wierd border issues and spacing. I’m glad that now I’ll have to sniff browsers once again…

    They’re breaking it by fixing (some of) it! I love that.
