Just finished reading the new column from Microsoft's new "DHTML Dude" (David Massey) about IE6 and standards support. Here's a quote: | "100 percent of CSS 1 and 100 percent of DOM level 1 with this release ... This does not, of course, guarantee interoperability of browsers for many reasons" |
|
And here's the link [msdn.microsoft.com] Don't know what to make of this. The previous DHTML Dude (Michael Wallent) wrote columns that I found much more informative and useful. You can access those archived columns through the link. The new Dude seems to focus more on stating corporate position so far. Bottom line, I think he's saying that Microsoft will continue to do whatever it feels is best, sometimes supporting standards and sometimes trying to drive the standards process in the direction it likes. | "because a standard exists, that does not mean Microsoft will automatically implement it." |
|
Well, sometimes that works for me and sometimes it doesn't.

Slowly MS are supporting standards, and I think this is good. But though I agree in some ways with their apparant stance on innovation, I'm sure IE6 will support the Marquee and other abominations they've created. But its a step in the right direction.
