IE7

According to MezzoBlue’s Dave Shea IE7 is really, honestly going to fix (almost) all of those things we’ve been whining and complaining about for, well, years now. Some of the mouth-wateringly acceptable features IE7 will now finally be capable of, out of the box: PNG’s alpha-channel transparency (thank fucking god), fixed positioning, and the :hover pseudo-class now works on (supposedly) any element!

IE7 beta is available, and the rendering engine is, basically, as finished as it’s likely to get; any changes from this point out will have to do more with bug fixes and security. I’m going to download it and see it for myself.

And if you do not upgrade on the day it is released, you’re a monkey’s arse and i will – mark my words – no longer be making web sites with your lousy browser experience in mind.

About jeremy

x jeremy jarratt is a blogger, musician, artist, poet, web developer/designer, armchair philosophizer, teller of tales, and gadabout. Also, something he calls a "behavioral artist." (Not sure.) He is currently unemployed, although he has plans. BIG plans. Among the things that he has done for a laugh are minor fractures, cuts, scrapes, and various scabs. Though he's quick to point out that he's no imbecile, we're fairly certain that he thinks the word means some kind of medieval pharmacist. This is his latest home on teh internets - where he stores his swear words, when he's not hurling them at the sun in vain.
