CSS debates part 3
IE6 already has a “standards” mode. It is the source of these hacks.
Advice is futile when no one has shown that IE7’s “standards” mode will be less buggy than IE6’s.
My solution to this point is to make certain that IE stays out of this extremely weird mode. As it stands, “quirks” mode is predictable and quite compatible with Moz/Firefox standards behavior.
First you’re building cars with triangular tires, and people had to build roads with holes on it, and now you’re complaining your new car with round tires can not drive on these roads.
You’re realizing that there are some trivial things called standards now? You’re joking right? I hope, for the amount of time your buggy browsers cost us to write and debug hacks, you’ll pay someday!
When Microsoft is talking about standards and Microsofts commitment to them, I’ll trust them so much like I’ll do
Now to the question about deleting all the hacks that needed to be written for IE6 and before. I really appreciate the thought that IE7 will be more standard conform this question is the best proof that there is no intention to go the whole way. If there are no exact display specs are written why don’t do it the way that is standard? That IE introduced something in some Version long ago doesn’t mean that it should be stay the way it is. I understand that it isn’t easy to get this thing we call browser up to date with standards, or at least try it. But what happens if now the hacks are going to be replaced? Everyone with IE6 will look at crappy sites and think it is the fault of the web developers. Our fault. But instead it is your fault.
