A Hack Free Standards Future
09.11.2005
There has been a lot of news recently about the up coming new version in Internet Explorer, IE7. Media coverage has been high, but none more than in the web standards camp. Internet Explorer, the aging current Microsoft browser, always seems to be under fire, and most of it is completely justified because of it’s poor support for standards.
An important tool for anyone learning web standards and CSS-based design is to know the limitations of different browsers, their quirks and especially the work-arounds. These are must-know areas if you want to become successful in creating semantic websites driven by CSS design. However, because of the promise of better CSS support and bug fixes in IE7, these hacks are looking a lot less professional and future proof.
