IE7 not CSS compliant
Posted by

Interesting Slashdot thread started by Jeff Reifman, in which he claimed that IE7 was basically non-compliant with CSS web standards: he measured it as IE 52% compliance vs. Firefox 93%. In fact in his article he notes that the IE7 compliance is only marginally better than IE6 (54% for IE7 and 52% for IE6). Here’s a full explanation of those stats.

It’s interesting how much criticism of IE7 there is around at the moment. From personal experience though, the CSS support in IE7 is a massive improvement on IE6.
It would be interesting to see some stats which take into account how commonly used the missing / broken features are. Clearly, 52% CSS compliance doesn’t mean that 48% of web sites will not render properly…
