Sincerely, congrats to guys behind all the efforts. It’s great to finally (lastly) see some actual news about the next version of Internet Explorer with improved standards compliance. With anticipation, this is just the start of IE’s trend towards a significant internal milestone.
Still off course many of us would be thinking why a company likes MS has kept their browser too far away from other browsers. As of today also there’
s so much to do. What’s going on inside the IE’s development team. Keeping the community informed is really important. Are we aware of anything before it was a success and then announced to public. If they take care of it then something like this, Ohh my god I haven’t even seen anything yet, but… I can’t believe it. You guys just did it.
I personally like firefox and always prefer to use it until there is no need to test my pages to test with IE. These are the reasons why?
- Inline spell check. Please please please
- Live bookmarks toolbars. This is the best way to view your favorite few RSS feeds.
- The inline search bar from F is very good. The ctrl-F function from IE is out-dated.
- The interagted search bar in FF has many advatages of the one in IE.
- When typing an address, the autofill only shows the URL. That’s sometimes useles. It would be nice to see the Page Title, URL, and favicon.
And as part of a web developer certainly I have three things to look forward.
- Data URI scheme
- CSS Display Table type properties – fixed
- CSS Relative positioning – fixed
- HTML closing <p> tag
- HTML abbr tag fixed
- CSS generated content – fixed
