Internet Explorer45
Heya



I think there lots of user of IE7 ,and some of them got problems with CSS.

I kind of got lots of problems with it.. as I wanted to put opacity on

background, and it dont work , and its destroying my web sites. I bet there

more developers that agree with me .. Even thought I founding some hacks , it

doesnt work like on firefox.

Firefox its graeat for CSS.. So I suggest that IE developers could fix

problem with CSS,

it would be much more easyier , and it would be great for Windows. " as many

people hate windoes during Viruses, and lots other"



So if you could fix the problems with CSS, and make easy for us developers ,

if you going to relase IE 8 please make sure the CSS problems are fixed, or

update IE 7 with the fixs on



Its would be great



Thanks alot



if you got any news about it please send it to me on j1r189@hotmail.co.uk

Hi Jerry,



Yep you are probably right about what's coming in the next IE, but may I

suggest that you are missing a point of web development.

It sounds like you are using FX as your browser for development? All good an

well, but how many of your users will be using FX?



Latest numbers suggest only 14%. It is counter intuitive to spend 80% of

your development time for a platform that will only work on 14% of your

users browsers. Add to that, that there are several versions of FX and IE to

contend with, and Safari seems to be the browser of choice for MAC

platforms.



Even if IE does become fully W3C compliant, there are still the legacy

versions to contend with. I will leave it to you to choose the browser of

choice for development, but for me the stats says it all. An important

consideration is that ALWAYS 'The User is King', colors, fonts and font

sizes should always be the choice of the user. What may look 'stunning' in

your development environment may not receive the same response from a user

(with different accessibility needs or browser platform).



Regards.

Speaking as a designer, it makes more sense to do the initial design for

standards compliant browsers like Firefox, and then to find out what

minor tweaks are needed by the various versions of IE to make the design

work well with IE.



The reason for this is that, in my experience, it takes less time to

start with valid code, and then to work out the IE tweaks, than it would

to start with badly broken IE-focused code, and then work out how to

make it work with standards compliant browsers.



Another issue is that designing to the standards avoids problems with

future versions of IE, which will be more standards compliant.



As to the Safari issue: it is quite standards compliant, and a site

that works well with Firefox and Opera typically works with Safari and

Konqueror with no changes. In my experience.
