Apparently, you've never heard of the Acid2 test: http://google.com/search?q=cache:AcSJyTwD0igJ:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid2+c+2005.Safari+*-*-*-page-rendering-flaws-*-*-*+*-*-did-not-follow-*-standards+*-Explorer-8-on-*-*.*-*+c+a.test.page Internet Exploder 6 was a bad joke. Internet Exploder 7: different number; SAME bad joke. http://google.com/search?q=cache:fv22n-VduoEJ:www.mezzoblue.com/archives/2005/07/28/ie7_css_upda+Acid2.*-IE6.*-IE7+tv+tv+*-*-single-pixel-*-* Comparison of browsers from Summer 2006: (clickable links) http://google.com/search?q=cache:BcA9gIIu5uUJ:shane.rsbandb.com/tdb/page/4/?s=mage+using+Konqueror.3.5+Opera.9+Internet.Explorer.6+Internet.Explorer.7+Firefox.1.5+Safari.2+*-*-*.2006 Note from the previous Wiki link that Internet Exploder **8** FINALLY passed Acid2. (IE6 & IE7 **never** will pass Acid2; see "bad joke", above.) While M$ was farting around with Acid2, the other browsers (having long since hit that mark) moved on to Acid3. http://google.com/search?q=cache:b0vDW1amn3gJ:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid3+c+Acid2+100/100+c+*-Explorer+c+*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-modern-highly-interactive-*&strip=1 At one time a pre-release version of Internet Exploder 8 got 17 percent on Acid3. They just put a Release version of IE8 into the wild and that one gets 12 percent. The next-worse browser got 60 percent. Yes. Internet Exploder SUCKS at standards compliance. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
