IE7 Finally Releases Plans for Compliance with Webstandards and Better CSS Support 8:08 am

Now this is more like it. Microsoft just released on their IE blog how they plan to finally comply with standards and CSS2 (.1) in IE7.

They have posted a list of bugs they’ve already fixed, as well as some new features they’ve added support for including the :hover property on things other than links, abbr tags, and fixed positioning. It looks like more fixes are on the way.

From the post:

I want to be clear that our intent is to build a platform that fully complies with the appropriate web standards, in particular CSS 2 ( 2.1, once it’s been Recommended). I think we will make a lot of progress against that in IE7 through our goal of removing the worst painful bugs that make our platform difficult to use for web developers.

Awesome.
