Make CSS Work
December 6th, 2007
Microsoft just announced the next version of IE will be called…IE 8.
Add that to my “Wow” list.
My ideas for IE 8:
- Properly implement CSS, in particular the box model. Consistent page layout across browsers is a huge challenge.
- Make sure Vista still works even when I have Firefox configured as my default browser.
- Make standards modes default, not quirks mode.
- See that search box at the top of my blog? It works in Firefox, but in IE I’d have to use a hack to get that background image to disappear when the box has focus. Fix that.
I guess the last bullet is another CSS issue. The previous bullet is probably more an issue with Microsoft web sites insisting on being IE proprietary, which sucks.
So, to summarize:
Make CSS Work.
