[css-d] hacks in IE7 ?

Hi, i've read somewhere that many IE CSS deficiencies won't be addressed in the new IE release at all. Is this really so bad? I don't want to see all those pages looking bad in the new IE just because Microsoft suddenly decided to apply to standards and all those old IE-hacks behave awkward now.

Nick, Only a couple years? I'm a bit more pessimistic. Many web developers are still trying to ensure their site works in IE5/Mac and some even IE5.5/Win. Only Windows XP will be getting IE7. So if we are to support Mac OS 8/9 with IE5 because no new version is coming out for it (nor

Heh, exactly. That's why hacks, in general, are a bad idea. More headaches for developers when future releases happen... whether that be the browser devs or the web devs! Personally I just try to rework the way I am implementing something until it is cross-browser without hacks. But

That is my feeling. I hope that IE7 does fix a lot of things like Min-height, etc. That said, however, how many websites will end up being broke because they removed a simple hack which allows those pages to be compliant. A more appropriate question would be why IE7 could not act like Fire Fox

Re: [css-d] hacks in IE7 ?

That depends on how the floats are being used. My suggestion would be to find a fundamentally different approach to producing the attempted design that would not cause the text jog to be an issue. That would be a design-specific issue and the approach could vary. It's possible I would use
