Make CSS Work

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.
