Don't use this for testing IE7 compatibility. It is designed to let users attempt to view webpages which would otherwise break in IE8. It is not designed as a testing tool. As such it: (a) Is not a perfectly compatible with IE7 - there are differences. and (b) It flags the URL as potentially incompatible with IE8 with Microsoft. If enough users use IE7 mode, then the URL could be added to a list of URLs for which compatibility mode is the default for IE8 users. -- David Dorward <http://dorward.me.uk><http://blog.dorward.me.uk> ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
