Just checking in your archives. I've been styling with CSS and test it on two major leading browsers that is IE and MOZ. Many designers day that MOZ is better in many ways but it's easier to style with the new IE7. Specially for a fresh beginner (I'm advanced). Hey Matt! Just checking in your archives.

It is awesome Matt. Well done! Had a few problems with IE7 myself, particularly the list items of an unordered llist having about 30px gaps between them! eh!?!

The IE 7 has some css problems I noticed today in the agency when I coded an clientwork and tested it, thats a bit sad I think. I didnt tested the browser alot but there are still some differences to FF 1.5. Ahh yes you are right Matt B.

Yes IE7 is an improvements over IE6, is it a standards compliant browser yet? no. And realistically, as soon as IE7 is final, people are necessarily going to be switching to it immediately, nor will people be moving to Vista any time soon. Some of us still try to take IE5 into consideration, we will still have to design with IE6 in mind But maybe, just maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I was extremely distraught when I discovered yesterday that a <a href="http://prblogger.com/" rel="nofollow">new site I had just finished</a> that appears perfect in every browser, except IE 7. It seems my method of clearing a double float by floating its container (as learned in Bulletproof Web Design) doesn't work in IE 7. Check out that site in IE 7 and see how the bottom section overlaps the top. That's just fuckin' awesome! Now we have to make exceptions for IE 6 <em>and</em> IE 7. What will it take for them to just give up or give in? @Gizmo: Wouldn’t it be nice if that were indeed a fact?

Now you don't have to code your site for IE 6 and FF, cause IE7 has nearly the same CSS "Knowledge" as FF 1.5, that makes Blogdesigning alot easier :).
