Beating Internet Explorer into the 21st Century

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on March 9, 2004). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

I can hardly wait until this is finished enough for the ‘download’ link to be active: IE7, a hack to force IE into behaving like a modern browser.

This is an attempt to make Microsoft Internet Explorer more compliant when it comes to web standards.

Web developers are becoming increasingly frustrated at the lack of convergence of the major browser vendors. We need a level playing field!

CSS is a powerful technology. Many of it’s more advanced features go unused by web developers because of Explorer’s poor support of CSS standards.

IE7 provides support for most of the important CSS enhancements. A full list is available on the compatibility page.

About time someone figured out how to do this, since Microsoft doesn’t seem to want to bother…;)
