In an industry that communicates with
terms such as “Browser Hell” and
“browser wars,” a web designer can
be excused for having some anxiety
over Microsoft’s recent upgrade of
Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) to Internet
Explorer 7 (IE7). Web designers
should ask the following questions:
•
What problems does IE6 possess
and what fixes does IE7 provide?
•
What part of the Cascading Style
Sheets (CSS) specification does
IE7 for Windows support?
•
How can web designers work
around any problems that exist
within IE7’s support for CSS?
•
While web designers are testing
their designs on the latest browser,
how fast will IE7 be adopted by
their client’s audience?
This Short Cut attempts to answer
these questions to allow web designers
a smoother transition to IE7 and,
hopefully, an escape from Browser
Hell.
