Browsers
Handling both Firefox 2 and 3 in your CSS files sometimes turns into a tough job.
This nifty little hack does the job:
/* Firefox 2 stuff */
.foo {
background-color: #fff;
}
/* Firefox 3 stuff */
html>/**/body .foo {
background-color: #000;
}
And guess what? This block of CSS validates fine on W3.
This will give you some very good idea about how Microsoft implements Web Standards:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx is Internet Explorer 7.0 Home Page.
These are validation results of the page using W3C validators:
HTML: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.microsoft.com%2Fwindo...
First of all, this could be really a useful link for web developers:
MSDN page about IE 7 compatibility.
I quickly read the above article and then re-read MSDN page about IE 6 compatibility and felt like I need to comment on some points:
This could be very strange but it's tested:
When styling Arabic text, setting the text-transform to "capitalize" using the selector "first-letter" will break the first letter and draw it separated from the rest of the word which doesn't happen to the same text using text-transform without the selector.
Try it if you're interested and let me know what you think.
I personally believe it's a wrong application of the capital letters in Arabic, where the separate letter is considered a capital one, I recall the early days of Office applications doing this.
Hi People,
It's now a week or something since the release of the rivals: Internet Explorer and Firefox.
The death match continues with both browser vendors throwing the latest master pieces from their forges.
I took a sort of good tour with both browsers: Firefox 2.0 on my SuSE Linux 10.1 over the flagship KDE 3.5.5, and Internet Explorer 7.0 on Windows XP Service Pack 2 (and that's forced from Microsoft).
I am
