Most games could be bought by simply going to a department store, electronics store, etc. But what about games that either were pulled from shelves right away, or maybe only a few stores carried them? Or maybe they were only available via mail order?
The first that comes to mind is the Panesian NES games. How would you have gotten these? Sex shops? Mail order? I cant see Target selling those games.
Stadium Events, I dont remember the full story behind, I just know there was some kind of licensing dispute.
TurboGrafx16 I had never seen in stores as a kid. To this day, Ive never seen one for sale in person. I bought mine off pricecharting.com
Urban Yeti could only be bought via mail order from what I am gathering. Wonder how many other games were like that?
Super Noahs Ark 3D? What store would have even carried that?
Basically what this boils down to is rarity I suppose but its not just artificial rarity in the way of people just tossing the game or hoarding it, making available copies hard to come by, but games that were destined to be obscure from the start

Ireland's Highest Waterfall
Powerscourt Waterfall is Ireland's highest at 121m (398ft.) and is 6km from the Main Estate. It is set in one of Ireland's most beautiful parklands at the foothills of the Wicklow Mountains.
As you drive from the gatelodge towards the Waterfall you are surrounded by Beech, Oak, Larch and Pine trees some of which were planted over 200 years ago. Look out for the Giant Redwoods, which are native to Northern California where they may grow up to 80m high and live for 4,000 years so they are still youngsters!
The Waterfall is an ideal location for summer picnics and barbecues. There is a vast amount of space to keep children entertained. There is also a playground for younger children. But be mindful of the other inhabitants of the parkland! It is a haven for wildlife and children can have fun trying to spot some of the locals – the Chaffinch, Cuckoo, Raven and the Willow Warbler. Some other inhabitants are the Sika Deer which were introduced to Ireland in 1858 and there may be a red squirrel or two.
Don't fret if you forget your picnic as there is a kiosk on site that serves everything from coffee and tea to hot-dogs and ice-cream. The kiosk is open everyday from the 1st June to the end of August and year round at weekends, if weather permits. There is ample car parking and toilet facilities at the waterfall. Dogs are welcome but they must be on a leash.
Take time to explore the pathways that meander through the flora and fauna, walk along the woodland pathways and listen to the birdsong. Read about Early Tourists to Powerscourt Waterfall.
The Waterfall is located 6km from Powerscourt Estate. From Dublin City and Wexford take Exit 8. After 2 km take the first left towards Enniskerry and follow the signs for Powerscourt Waterfall. Here is a map of Powerscourt Waterfall. We would not recommend walking to the waterfall from Powerscourt Estate as there are no footpaths for part of the journey. Car / Taxi are the best options for visiting the waterfall.

Technical problem with newly drawn state Senate map has GOP angry all over again
Republicans on the Colorado Reapportionment Commission argued the panel "railroaded" through Democratic maps, and now they're saying that a newly discovered technical glitch in the state Senate map is more proof of that.
The problem is with Senate District 22, the seat formerly held by Sen. Mike Kopp, R-Littleton, who resigned earlier this year to be able to take care of his children following the death of his wife. Kopp was replaced in the seat by Sen. Tim Neville, also a Littleton Republican and who won a vacancy committee election.
Had Kopp stayed in the seat, he would have served until 2014, the year the seat comes back up for election. As a vacancy appointment, though, Neville would have to stand for re-election in a special election in 2012.
However, under the Democratic-drawn maps approved by the commission last week, Neville would be drawn out of Senate District 22 and into Senate District 16, the same district as Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Black Hawk. But the Senate District 16 seat does not come up for re-election until 2014, meaning Neville would no longer have a district in which to stand for re-election in 2012, essentially airbrushing him from the Senate after he serves next session.
Conversely, because he would be drawn out of Senate District 22, that district would not have representation for two years before another election is held in 2014. Staff working for the reapportionment commission noticed the problem and over the weekend asked members of the panel for permission to simply re-sequence the District 22 seat so that it comes open in the 2012 cycle, not 2014.

U62 is the accepted way to do it.
I have heard numerous dits as to why she ended up with this bizarre UPT62, all probably told to suit the tellers point of view.
Whatever the reason, it remained for only a short time, but sufficiently long for the lens to catch it.
The logical explanation is the painter was told to put up UPendant62, Pt the abbreviated form.
He should have been told paint up the pendant, U62.
There have been other instances, but none so bad as incorrectly transcribing a ships name, so it is mis spelled and launched, incorrectly.
There are a few of those too.
Thats all folks. Sean. E28

Here is the memorial that was erected to commemorate HMS Lapwing and those who gave their lives. And it was old Donald that was invited to do the 'opening' ceremony that day - which made him feel very proud and humbled. A fine gentleman of the old school.

Murmansk Survivor
Today I spent an enjoyable three hours in the company of a native son of the Isle of Harris, namely Donald Mac Kinnon, an extremely alert and articulate 87 year old, who was just 18 years of age when he joined the Merchant Navy and RNVR shortly before the outbreak of WWII.
Apart from our Hebridean, maritime, language and surname affiliations, I was particularly keen to make Donald's acquaintance and learn more about his wartime experience when his ship, the modified Black Swan Class Sloop, HMS Lapwing, was torpedoed as she approached the Kola Inlet, off Murmansk, North Russia, part of the escort of what was to be the second-last Russian convoy of WWII.
Donald's ship, HMS Lapwing, a product of the Greenock shipyard of Scotts', had sailed from Greenock, as part of the Convoy JW65 escort, at 19:00 hours on Sunday 11th March 1945, bound for Archangel – her ninth, and final voyage to Russia. Nine days later she was torpedoed, just before Noon on 20th March 1945, by the Type VII C German submarine U-968, one of thirteen German submarines straddling the Kola Inlet awaiting Allied targets. Under the command of Oberleutnant zur See Otto Westphalen, U-968 torpedoed HMS Lapwing and the American Liberty 'Thomas Donaldson'. The British Sloop was struck amidships, on her starboard side, by way of the Engine Room. Donald, already a veteran of the Normandy Landings and previous Russian Convoy escort duty, recalls that the action took place about two minutes before Noon as crewmen were making their way down for the 'daily tot' when the torpedo struck.
Listing badly to starboard, her back broken in the devastating explosion, her boats smashed to smithereens, the vessel broke in two with the fore half going down immediately, and the aft half following a few minutes later. Many men were cast into the sea, which was on fire, and could be heard screaming. Those down below in the Engine Room were trapped, and those still on board could not leave the stricken vessel until the order to abandon ship was given. The Captain, Commander John Alexander Binnie, had been knocked unconscious and the 1st Lieutenant had gone over the side, so it was left to the 2nd Lieutenant to give the order – "Abandon Ship – Everybody for himself".
Petty Officer Donald Mac Kinnon was at the forward gun and, on hearing the order, he jumped into the freezing sea and swam towards a raft. Wearing his naval uniform, a heavy coat and sea-boots at the time, he found it difficult to swim as he could not get out of the sea-boots, so he was being forced to swim more or less with his hands only. He was the last man to be heaved on board the raft, making a total of 16 men on board, and quickly passed out. A few hours later, when the Destroyer HMS Savage came upon the raft and went to the rescues of these survivors, there were only six men left on board, all unconscious, the other ten having vanished without trace. The sailors from HMS Savage were unsure whether the men on the raft were dead or alive at first, all were gripping the lifelines with the death grip of a drowning man, and the sailors had to cut the ropes on either side of the survivors' hands as they could not force their hands open. Their palms were a mass of red flesh and badly bleeding.
When they were laid out on the deck of HMS Savage, the ship's doctor was sent for. He confirmed that the men were barely alive, another 20 minutes and they would all have been dead. He gave instructions for brandy to be administered and, when the men came round, they were to be taken down below into hot showers as quickly as possible and cleaned up. The men's clothing was in such a state it had to be cut away with knives and scissors, then started the job of removing dirt, oil and grease from eyes, ears, mouths, etc. One of the men died on the deck of HMS Savage, too far gone for any recovery.
HMS Allington Castle also played a significant part in the rescues of survivors.
HMS Savage headed to Kola where the men were landed and hospitalised – one of their number dying before the vessel reached the port. After some days recovering, the men were repatriated on the Cruiser HMS Diadem and arrived at Greenock on 2nd April 1945. From there they were sent to Devonport Barracks where they were kitted out and sent home on 14-days Survivors' Leave, from 6th – 20th April 1945.
Of her complement of 220 men, 158 lost their lives and 61 survived, one of which was PO Donald Mac Kinnon. As a Hebridean, Donald Mac Kinnon was no stranger to loss of life at sea. Sadly, his own Father, James Mac Kinnon, ship's carpenter on board the MacAndrews & Coy's fruit/cargo vessel M.V. Pizzaro (Beardmore with Tosi oil engine) was lost at sea, just over four years earlier, at the age of 51 years on 31st January 1941 when his ship was sunk by the Italian submarine Dandolo (Commander Riccardo Boris) in the South West Approaches, some 700 miles West of Bishop Rock, Scilly Isles, whilst on a passage from London to Gibraltar.
On Saturday 5th of April 2008, the Friends of Lapwing Association, formed about three years ago, dedicated a commemorative memorial at The Close Gardens, High Street, Saffron Walden, Essex, the adopted town of the Sloop HMS Lapwing. (See photograph) The honour of formal Unveiling of Memorial and Laying of Wreaths was bestowed on Petty Officer Donald Mac Kinnon on behalf of the Survivors, assisted by A.B. Bob Phillips (England) and A.B. Tommy Jess (Ireland).
A special service was held the following day, Sunday 6th April 2008, at St Mary's Church, with five Standards on display, in remembrance of the 158 men who gave their lives.
HMS Lapwing carried the town's coat-of-arms on her bridge and, reflecting the remarkable relationship between ship and township, the ship's crest is on display in the town hall of Saffron Walden. This relationship evolved from 1941 when the people of the town were asked to raise money to build a convoy escort vessel to protect vital supply routes.
Astonishingly, the township raised the princely sum of £253,507 – more than double the target they had been set – and this at a time of war when the average wage was of the order of £3 per week.

Surrendered on 16th May 1945 at Loch Eriboll on the North-West coast of Scotland.
One of about 116 U-boats scuttled by the Allies in 'Operation Deadlight'.
Whilst under tow from Loch Ryan, through the North Channel, by the tug HMS Prosperous, bound for the deep water 'scuttling grounds' approximately 100 miles off the North-West coast of Ireland, the U-968 foundered in a position North-West of Rathlin Island, 55' 24" North, 06' 22" West, on 29th November 1945.

Dear Bar Owner,
you had your first official shift last night. i tried to stay awake until after closing, so i could call you and see how it all panned out after we last spoke, at the beginning of the shift, when the hum of the television and friends could be heard in the background, behind your nervous and hopeful voice. with only four hours of sleep from the night before in my reserve, however, i fell fast asleep around 9. fighting a bossy cold. i texted you as soon as the weight of impending slumber tugged at my eyelids. i woke at 12:22 for a few seconds. thought of you. wondered if you had closed or were staying open until 1. fleeting thoughts. fast asleep soon thereafter.
i woke to a quiet house save the television. bumbled around our home. acknowledged the strangeness of leaving lights on and prepping for the day without care of the sounds such kitchen fumbles made. usually, while you sleep through my morning routine, there's no illumination. unmatched socks and spots of bread mold have been the results of such timid morning practices. not so today.
as soon as i arrive at my desk from the first chilled morning of the season, i text you. do tell me of your shift. call me when you wake. and, you do. it goes something like:
i felt fine last night, but every morning i wake now, i'm nervous again, feel like i could throw up. just hearing your voice though, calms me down. our friends came by. friends of friends too. some curious stragglers. my mom - she told me she hopes that next week i have wine glasses and better wine than the sutter home small bottles. someone who works at a local restaurant was happy that the bar was open again. previous owners had been closing at 5. friends commented on how the beast of a jukebox being gone and the red walls were already lending a new air to the room. still nervous though. need to hire more people. we don't have the funds available yet to do so...
i tell you how i've started a separate blog to detail this new life. you laugh at that. we soon end the conversation. you promise to send photos of the progress. i assure you that you are only two days in. it'll get better once the old sign is down and ours is launched. when we put trees out front. when we stay open to certain times each night. become reliable for patrons. i'll launch a facebook page. handle the marketing. get the word out.
just before we hang up you say, it's all for us. that you'd never put yourself through all of this just for you. i laugh at this, knowing that if you were still single, you would be leading a different life. you'd have no reason to return to the town of your roots. you wouldn't own a house there in preparation for our family. you'd most likely be living that bartender life. you know, the typical one. the one you strayed from after i walked into the barroom. i'm both elated and guilty. the level of stress you endure wears upon you in the silver strands breaking through your dark locks and beard. you wear it well, my dear. and, i hope you don't resent it. i hope the surprise of this new path enlivens you once it's all set in place.
i truly hope it's all that you want.

Any and all betting contracts (hereinafter also referred to as "bets") shall be subject to the following betting rules, which the Bettor acknowledges as valid and applicable at the latest upon conclusion of the betting contract.
Each bet involves two contracting parties, the Bookmaker on the one hand and the Bettor on the other hand. An absolute ban on betting applies to children and adolescents. The event which the bet is placed on is determined by the Bookmaker.
The Bookmaker has clearly displayed the present betting rules pursuant to the legislation applicable in the respective province.
The Bettor declares that
he/she is at least 18 years of age. In case of doubt, the Bookmaker shall be entitled to ask for an identity document.
he/she has no knowledge of the outcome of the event underlying the bet prior to concluding the betting contract;
the funds he/she wagers do not originate from a legally prohibited act and he/she is free to dispose of them.
The Bookmaker shall at all times be free to refuse individual offers to bet without stating his reasons for doing so, or to limit the stake prior to accepting bets and/or to change the odds prior to accepting the bets. The Bookmaker may, at his/her discretion, determine odds and payout limits with binding effect for the Bettor.
The betting contract is concluded by acceptance of the Bettor's offer to bet. The Bookmaker's records shall be authoritative for the interpretation of the substance of the contract. Upon receipt of the betting ticket, the Bettor's non-objection shall constitute acknowledgement of its correctness. Subsequent objections will not be accepted. The Bookmaker shall be entitled to correct the betting ticket on his/her own at any time in order to rectify clerical or mathematical errors or errors concerning odds even after the contract has been concluded; requirements pursuant to sec. 871 of the Austrian Civil Code need not be present in this context. The Bookmaker's right to avoidance of the contract due to error pursuant to sec. 871 of the Austrian Civil code shall remain unaffected.
The Bettor shall not be entitled to withdraw unilaterally once the betting contract has been concluded.
Once the Bookmaker has handed over a betting ticket, winnings shall only be paid out on return of the original betting ticket. The Bookmaker assumes no liability or obligation to pay for any loss or damage (destruction) of the betting ticket. The Bookmaker is not obliged to check whether the bearer of a betting ticket is entitled to collect winnings.
Betting tickets shall be presented within 90 days from the day following the date when the event on which the bet was placed ended, failing which the Bettor's claim to payment of the winnings shall lapse. The Bookmaker may reserve the right to pay out winnings until 45 days after presentation of the betting ticket. In any event the Bookmaker may require the Bettor to present a valid identity document before the winnings are paid out.
The Bettor shall not be permitted to assign any claims vis-à-vis the Bookmaker under betting contracts for consideration or free of charge, to pledge such claims or dispose of them in any other legal transactions, or to set off such claims against claims asserted by the Bookmaker.
In the absence of other mandatory rules governing jurisdiction, disputes under betting contracts shall exclusively be settled before the court having jurisdiction as to subject matter at the place where the administrative headquarters of the Bookmaker are located.
In the following cases, the bet shall be invalid and the betting contract shall retroactively be deemed terminated by mutual consent, with the legal consequence that the stake shall be refunded to the Bettor:
if the event on which the bet was placed does not take place at the home ground as stated on the odds list (e.g. change of venue for home team). The bet shall continue to be valid if the home team waives its right to play at home and voluntarily plays away.
if the bet is placed after the event underlying the betting contract has started or is not placed in accordance with the betting rules. However, this does not apply to bets which the Bookmaker offers regularly also after the event has started and which are marked expressly as such bets as can be placed after the event has started, e.g. long-term or live bets.
if an event is cancelled or does not take place, unless:
it is re-scheduled at the time of cancellation and the new date is within two calendar days from the original start of the event;
the event takes place at a later time in the framework of a sports tournament (e.g. World Championship, European or National Championship, Olympic Games, tennis tournament etc.);
if the event is discontinued without any official result being announced immediately after discontinuation. Subsequent changes in the ranking (e.g. decision by subsequent negotiations) shall not be taken into consideration.
if a tennis match ends by w.o.
The following rules shall in particular apply to judging the outcome of the bet:
the outcome announced immediately at the end of the event shall be authoritative (e.g. trophy presentation if this takes place directly after the event);
in the case of football matches, the result after 90 minutes (normal playing time) shall be decisive, in ice-hockey games the result after 60 minutes (normal playing time) shall be authoritative. Thus, extra time or penalty shoot-outs shall not affect the betting contract unless the contracting parties have agreed otherwise according to the Bookmaker's records (e.g. European Cup - bet on team moving on into next round).
if two or more events of the same types (e.g. two giant slaloms) are organised in the same place, all bets placed before the start of the first event shall only apply to such first event unless anything to the contrary has expressly been agreed upon.
In case of a "dead heat" (two participants or more in the same rank) pay-outs shall be divided accordingly (e.g. stake 100, winner's odds 1.8, pay-out 180 - recalculated for two winners as a pay-out of 90 each, or 60 each for 3 winners). If an event involves two participants (teams) only (e.g. a training duel) and if no odds are offered for a tie, pay-outs will not be divided in case of a dead heat; the total stake will be refunded instead.
If an event takes place in accordance with the present General Betting Rules and if a participant or team is a no show at the event, the betting contract shall remain valid under the "Play or Pay" principle; this means that bets placed on the no-show participant shall be lost.
If several betting events are combined ("accumulator bet"), the following shall apply:
if one or several events are cancelled, broken off or do not take place for any other reason and not re-scheduled within the meaning of Clause 12 c) hereinabove, or if there is no official result of such event(s) within the meaning of Clause 12 d) hereinabove, the event(s) shall be given 1.0 for the purpose of the odds;
if all events are cancelled, broken off or do not take place for any other reason and not re-scheduled within the meaning of Clause 12 c) hereinabove, or if there is no official result of such event(s) within the meaning of Clause 12 d) hereinabove, the betting contract shall be terminated retroactively and the stakes shall be refunded. This shall also apply to tennis matches ended by w.o.;
if the betting contract is concluded after one or several events have already started, the event(s) will be given 1.00 for the purpose of the odds; however, this principle shall not apply to the bets mentioned in Clause 12 b, second sentence. If the bet is placed after all the events have started, Clause 12 b shall apply mutatis mutandis.
These betting rules adopted by the Austrian Bookmakers' Association shall take effect on 25. November 2005 at 00:00 hours, thus superseding and rendering ineffective any and all previous betting rules issued by the Association.
In doubt our betting terms in german language are applied.

Mike Fisher Gossip
Mike Fisher gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Carrie Underwood's Son, Isaiah Michael.
Don't you get the impression that Isaiah Michael Fisher is going to be called "Isaiah Michael Fisher" all the time? Like all three names, as an official label, like 'William of Windsor'? Carrie Underwood has named her baby Isaiah Michael, and I cannot actually find a problem with it. Full Story
Country "Icon" and the hockey player
Ben Gabbe/ Larry Busacca/ Getty
TIME's 100 Most Influential gala happened last night in New York. Carrie Underwood was on the list in the "icon" category. She attended with husband Mike Fisher, shutting down tabloid reports that they're getting a divorce. It was easy for the low grade magazines to make-a-story on Carrie and Mike splitting because they've been married for years and still haven't had a baby. Full Story
Country Girls & Country Bitches
Wenn, Jason Merritt/Getty
Now that her peers are publicly teasing her about her signature move - "Noooo...whaaaat...meeeee?" - does that mean Taylor Swift will stop doing it? I don't hate Swifty. At all. And I like that she seemed to be in on it when she went up to collect her award from Blake Shelton. I mean, at least on the outside, she was willing to roll. Full Story
Country Bitch gets her trade
What was it I wrote the last time I posted about Carrie Underwood? The article is here. And specifically: Given the season he and the Senators have been having, Mike, um, is not invited (to the All-Star Game). Ottawa is so sh-t this year, there's actually talk that the team is in such trouble, they're looking to shake it up. Full Story
5th Row Country BitchFace
What the f-ck Madison Square Garden??? How dare you put Howard Stern in the front row at the Knicks game and shove Country Bitch Carrie Underwood and her husband back there in the 5th? Did she mind? Please. Does it look like she minded? Mrs Fisher minded a LOT. She's Carrie Underwood. Don't you motherf-ckers know Carrie Underwood??? Poor Mike Fisher probably had to hear about it the entire game. Full Story
During an interview yesterday with a radio station, Carrie Underwood decided to piss on Montreal. She and husband Mike Fisher were there recently and "our (rental) car got broken into. We had to...call them and be like, 'We're sorry! The car is broken." So now she associates the city with auto theft. Full Story

Gabrielt.ecn needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 124 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
GSE Consultant
I am Gabriel Tremblay, an Health economist
I am starting a health economics consulting group
This group will have the purpose managing and organising independent and affiliated consultant around the world. This company will also confirm the methodology and give some guidance for the health economists that work on the project. This compagny will also be able to perform these studies.
It is going to be an international company and a bilingual one (French and english)
Let me explain you what is the goal of health economics to help you understanding the context.
Health economics is obviously the application of economics to health. The macroeconomic aspect of health economics : analysis of health care (data and others), production of health care in different countries, population health and equity in health care.
Microeconomics aspect of health : the behavior of economic agents or doctors, pharmacists, nurses, patients, managers, health institutions, public and private insurers, non-profit companies, private clinics, pharmaceutical companies and generic.
What Health economists do :
♦Help managers to make good decisions
♦Quantify in money the effets of health interventions
♦Compare different treatments, drugs, (try to figure out which is the most cost-effective)
♦Dertermined physician and hospital payment method
♦Help managing hospital and institution budgets
Non profit organisation that needs health economic proofs
Health compagny or association in developping countries
Health patient association
Health agencies
Ministry of Health, gouvernment
Health economists
Physician association
Pharmaceutical and biotech firms
The name of the compagnie will be
GSE Consultant which is bilingual
The name of the company in french is Groupe santé économica consultant
In English, it will also be called Economica Health Consulting Group
It is a union of people, with something that unite them
It must be an attractive and futuristic design, but a white background would be better (to put in reports). THe colors in the logo will be used in the reports (table, graph, ...)
Don't forget that it is a consultant company, so it must be serious and neutral, but the clients must feel that this company is well organised.
Don't be affraid to create something original

IE7 CSS UpdatesJuly 28, 2005
The first IE7 Beta is out. Yes, there are CSS improvements. No, they're not going to change the world.
Yesterday, Microsoft released a beta of the forthcoming Vista operating system, along with the first beta of IE7. Unfortunately, both are only available to MSDN subscribers.
An XP-compatible version is available from a third party if you have a BitTorrent client.
This is probably breaking all sorts of terms and conditions though, and likely won't last. Grab it while you can. ( Upon further investigation, the site in question is a BitTorrent tracking site with links to all sorts of other copyrighted material. Since an XP-compatible version of the beta wasn't announced, I'm guessing it's probably not a good idea for me to recommend that anyone download it. So, don't.) My review is based on this version, so if there are significant differences between it and the version that comes with Vista, then this review may be inaccurate.
The first thing you'll notice upon installing is that it completely replaces IE6, which has been typical IE behaviour since, well, forever. Hence the classic problem of testing multiple versions on one system, until Joe Maddalone came along two years ago and solved the problem for us. Now we need to add a new version to the list of IE archives… for the time being, you can grab the IE6 Eolas Edition which isn't functionally different from regular IE6 (except for the annoying 'Click Here to Continue Loading this page' dialogues) and it will work as expected alongside IE7b1 and your older archives.
Functionally, we should all know by now that things like enhanced security, RSS support, and tabs are included. Here's a screenshot of how it came together, which through its incompleteness re-enforces the fact that this is just a beta. What's that blank button next to the tab? Clicking on it opens a new tab. Can anyone spare an icon? (My guess is that this looks a little better in Vista…)
The odd new toolbar layout with dominant back and forward buttons seems to be a new direction for the UI; the only customizable items appear to be the address bar, buttons, and links panels at the bottom, and they cannot be moved higher up within the toolbar. (IE6, in comparison, lets you remix to your heart's content.)
So what about the rendering? Things have changed, but obviously we were promised only very little for a reason — nothing much has been fixed. Yes, now we have PNG transparency. (compare Panic's Audion Faces page in IE6 and IE7) Yes, the Peekaboo (IE6, IE7) and Guillotine (IE6, IE7, how the test case is supposed to look) bugs appear to have been addressed. Though without having had a chance to test either very comprehensively, I'll hold off on saying they've actually been fixed just yet.
Other than that? After running through Position Is Everything's "Explorer Exposed" omnibus, it seems to me that the list of outstanding IE bugs remains long. Line-height bug? Not fixed. Border chaos? Chaotic as ever. Italic overflows? Still buggy. Doubled float margin? Nope. 3px jog? Nuh-uh. Escaping floats? No way.
And what about previously unsupported CSS2 properties? Have we got
:hover support on any element other than
a yet? Sorry. What about selectors? Same as ever. Could we at least ask for a bit of
position: fixed? Keep wishing.
Acid2? IE6. IE7. Not a single pixel has changed.
Yeah, after four years of suspense, all we get is an alpha channel. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the IE team kept their mouths shut for a reason; they delivered what was promised, and nothing more. Here's to IE7.5, I guess…
: From the IE7 beta announcement post linked at the beginning of this article:
Our goal is to get feedback from this group, do a bunch more work around quality (performance, security, reliability, etc.) and some features (e.g. additional standards support beyond what's in beta 1, additional functionality around tabs and RSS, etc.), and release Beta 2 much more broadly.
So, the IE team has committed to the final release of IE7 having improved CSS support over what was released in beta 1. Let's hope the improvement is substantial. (Thanks, Kevin)
: More from Molly on WaSP's role in IE development, what you can do to help, and a plea for patience.
: Oh good, I was hoping we'd get something like this. The IE team has responded to the IE7 Beta feedback with a roadmap of sorts, which clarifies that yes, contrary to the expectations of many, Beta 2 will see quite a bit more CSS support than the first beta.
How much longer before it's out of beta? Meaning is it too late for them to add these features? Maybe they are in the works? Can I have a paragraph of nothing but questions and it's stil considered a paragraph?
One thing thats irked me about IE since forever is the way it gets "dotted" and "dashed" mixed up in 1px borders. Is this still the case?
I think I've read that the final version will be released before Vista, but don't quote me on that. If so, I'd imagine this is as good as it gets.
And since it's bound to come up, I'm pretty sure any work being done between the WaSP task force and Microsoft won't start bearing fruit until the next point release, or maybe not even until IE8. Product cycles being what they are, I doubt IE7 will benefit from that collaboration. Molly wasn't kidding - http://www.molly.com/2005/07/11/agenda-microsoft-is-it-a-sellout-when-the-prostitutes-paying/
I'm not on that task force though, so anything I say is based only on publicly available information. Perhaps someone on the TF can comment further.
After thier openness, and seeming receptiveness to user feedback on thier blog, I have to say I was expecting a bit more than this.
I realise this is only a beta - but it shows a lack of ambition in terms of the interface, and the (thus far) approach toward fixing all of those CSS issues.
Heres hoping its going to to get seriously better from here on in.
How freaking hard can it be to get rid of the 3px jog? That's truly discouraging.
Well hey, look at the brighside… we won't have to change our workflow. Same bugs, new OS, new year. Where would the fun be in making it work right?
re: dashed vs. dotted borders
IE7 still doesn't do dots. Check this screenshot - http://www.mezzoblue.com/i/articles/28july2005-ui.png - and look for the first non-title instance of 'JPG' in the body area ("…thanks to our friend JPG")
Ok, sad news but thank you very much for your post. Things I was just wondering about: now we know why on the MSDN you cannot find anything about CSS and IE 7.
"Our goal is to get feedback from this group, do a bunch more work around quality (performance, security, reliability, etc.) and some features (e.g. additional standards support beyond what's in beta 1, additional functionality around tabs and RSS, etc.), and release Beta 2 much more broadly."
"CSS Updates - Internet Explorer 7 includes fixes for issues with the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) feature. Both the peekaboo and guillotine bugs have been addressed, and work on other issues is under way to provide web developers with reliable and robust CSS functionality."
"Yes, there are CSS improvements. "
I really hope this Beta means Beta.
Ah, too slow. ;)
Damn. Looks like our jobs got a little harder again.
Thanks Dave, I've managed to download a copy. I wonder if IT will let us sneak it onto our test machine…
From what I understand, one of the main reasons that there is such a lack of effort on the UI and the CSS is because in order for them to truly integrate things such as Tabs, and a number of the CSS bugs they're facing, they would have to completely rewrite the browser… essentially they're just being lazy and going the easy way out.
So, as I predicted in a comment on this very blog I believe. Zippo for standards.
Not that surprising really. The developers would probably love to get all this stuff working but the truth is, it;s just not in the product pipeline at the moment.
They've been told: We want tabbed browsing, RSS, and security updates. And we want it this summer.
And a nice version number bump to combat the Firefox effect. This release has nothing to do with web standards and everything to do with browser market share.
I feel sorry for the poor dev guys.
so now how do we hide our css hacks for ie6 png tranparency from ie7?
"so now how do we hide our css hacks for ie6 png tranparency from ie7?"
Until we have a way, there doesn't seem much point in actually using transparent PNGs, does there? Free copy of 'The Zen of CSS Design' to the first person who comes up with a reliable hack for this…
Does it really matter now that there are other browsers out there? I used to think a better IE would make a difference.
But really, with the slow adoption rate of Vista (whenever it may make it to market) and IE7, we will still have to continue the freakish hacks that we already employ for years to come to accomodate IE 5.x and 6. IE7 may introduce new hacks as well. To me, this is all more work. I'd prefer IE stay stagnant as long as possible.
I think I'm going to cry.
What the hell have they been doing for the past four years? If I owned a software company, and it took my developers four years to do THIS, I'd fire them and kick them in the shins for good measure. This has gone beyond ridiculous.
Sadly, I can't say I'm surprised. Compared to full standards support, PNG support is merely a token gesture…
Perhaps the best thing to come out of IE7 will be the fact that millions of people will come to know and love ideas such as tabbed browsing and RSS feeds…and from there it's a short step to more functional browsers.
It seems that with this release, IE is just trying to play catch up with the features now provided in other browsers. This should give Firefox and the others more time to innovate and gain ground on IE's market share. Well that's the theory… :)
I think it's important to remember this is a *beta*. And a beta not made widely available to the general public at that.
If better CSS support doesn't make it into the final version, I think that would be the appropriate time for the complaining to begin.
It's not the developers' fault!
These guys don't want to make a bad product. As I said above, standards is not in the IE product blueprint yet. Why would it be? It won't get them any more or less browser share, not commensurate with the amount of work they would need to put in to it anyway.
Give them time, and it will come. But it will always be second to their financial and other longterm goals.
I strongly agree that patience is important right here and now:
There is a reason it's called BETA 1, it's a simple reason: the product isn't finished yet.
Much more interesting will be to see what all changes between beta 1 and 2, then 2 and 3. It's during those periods that most software tends to undergo the biggest changes and also the most interesting ones. That's my experience from "some" years of software development, anyway. Biggest steps were always around beta 5.
It's pity, but I cannot share the optimism of those claiming "it's only
beta". I doubt very much any significant CSS improvements will show up in final product.
Two years ago ppk said in his very insightful article http://www.evolt.org/article/Browser_Wars_II_The_Saga_Continues/25/60181/index.html">http://www.evolt.org/article/Browser_Wars_II_The_Saga_Continues/25/60181/index.html
Why is Microsoft unwilling to fix the CSS bugs that everyone's been asking it to fix for ages? I think it's not unwilling but unable to do so. Explorer's code engine cannot be updated any more.
I thought he was right then, and I think his is right now.
On hiding PNG transparency hacks – you can use conditional comments so that they're only loaded by IE <= 6. Yeah, it means putting the style rules in the <head> element (or linking to them in a separate stylesheet), but it should at least work.
"There is a reason it's called BETA 1, it's a simple reason: the product isn't finished yet."
An unfinished product is called an alpha.
A beta, unless I'm mistaken, is supposed to be a code and feature-complete version of the final product. Either Microsoft is calling an alpha a beta because they don't want it to be obvious how much behind schedule they are, or they're not planning any significant changes for the final Vista release.
Re: hiding IE6 hacks from IE7, the other day over at Colly's ( http://www.collylogic.com/index.php?/weblog/comments/fade_overflow_auto/ ) I suggested the conditional comment "if IE lt 7", which should serve the contents of the comment (be it a hacked stylesheet or Bob Osola's script solution) to all versions of IE below 7 while IE7+ passes it by. Assuming, of course, that IE7 continues to support conditional comments and that it indeed identifies itself as version 7. I haven't actually laid hands on the beta to test it (anybody wanna try it?) but it's tidy in theory.
Doh, Kelson beat me to it. Curse my slow typing.
So the choices are "if IE lte 6" or "if IE lt 7", either condition should have the same result.
I'm a Mac user, myself, and I'm currently choosing to be "too cool for IE" in my designs - putting the onus on visitors to use a real browser and refusing to hack my layouts to suit IE. My clients have been super super cool about it.
All I can say is this. Why on Earth should such a huge company with such deep pockets and such intelligence within its workforce (I don't assume they're all idiots) have its head so totally up its ass regarding the now thoroughly widespread and well-supported standards movement?
I just don't get it. Safari isn't perfect, but at least Apple tries to make it work as cleanly as possible. Why is Microsoft so different?
One quick note: it's possible to install IE7 using a similar technique as getting IE4, 5, and 5.5 to run on the same machine. Check out http://www.snook.ca/archives/000390.html
"I'm guessing it's probably not a good idea for me to recommend that anyone download it. So, don't."
Question: isn't it a little hypocritical to leave the link in and then tell people not to download it? If you really don't want people to download it, why didn't you take out the link? And if you do want people to download it, why pretend you care about the legality of it?
As a casual web designer, this is disappointing, but I must say: I'm more interested in improved *security* in IE7 than improved CSS support. I would love both, of course, but for the 90% of web users out there on Win/IE, I'd rather have them see the web not-quite-perfect but securely rather than pixel-perfect and vulernable to spyware.
Thanks for providing the images, Dave.
I was curious to see where they were at with this, but not quite curious enough to actually download it myself. (I'm not sure how I'd feel about this rogue torrent-version beta replacing my IE6… even if it only ever gets used for testing and WinUpdate.)
kevin: "If better CSS support doesn't make it into the final version, I think that would be the appropriate time for the complaining to begin."
You cannot be serious! Considering how little work Microsoft do on improving their browser, you want us all to wait until *after* the final product is released and then start complaining? I say raise hell now and they might actually do some work to make IE better.
And what's with all the concern about hurting the feelings of the 'developers'?! What rubbish! If they are professionals then they wouldn't be taking any of this personally. It should be pretty clear that the reaction from the web design community is directed at Microsoft's decision to totally drop the ball on improving their web browser.
We're the poor suckers who will be spending the next few years fighting to get our designs to work properly in IE… we have every right to whinge and complain if this is the effort they are putting in.
Good to hear they will be adding more CSS support. It's about time. I don't even care if they add new features, just let them fix all the bugs and I'm happy!
"so now how do we hide our css hacks for ie6 png tranparency from ie7?"
Conditional comments, naturally:
[if lt IE 7]>
Include PNG fix CSS
Sorry, didn't read the the other peoples' comments about conditional comments before I posted.
But I have also tested it in my IE 7 beta 1, and can confirm that it actually works.
How's text scaling for pixels?
Thanks Dave. At least I didn't have to wait until a family member broke down and got Windows ViRUsta to see what they'd do with IE. I guess there's always time for them to fix it (or screw it up more).
Looks like IE is playing catch-up in the browser world now. Where's the innovation? Where's the support for items that other browsers, and OSs, are already doing? Stop talking about tabs and more RSS stuff, that's old news, how about some more standards compliance?
#25,#26,#35: Tried it, doesn't work. IE7 still id:s itself as IE6. And the conditional comments still work … obviusly .. ;)
Personally I think IE7 is but ugly.
And Dave, where's the article on Deer Park Alpha 2 (note that Moz calls it ALPHA unlike other vendors), it has some enormously cool features like multicolumn support (use -moz-column-count and -moz-column-gap), built-in svg support, content-counter, :only-child … I could go on … full quotes support … call me jelous but IE7 is getting way to much attention. ;-)
Honestly, I'm not surprised by the lack of support or fixed bugs in IE7. Doing things their way and ignoring what customers really want and not working with non-Microsoft technology is their mantra.
David Bias:

Have you read this?
I wouldn't be as concerned about the lack of CSS improvements if IE 7 was an *alpha*. The fact that it's even considered to be a first-round beta is ridiculous, unless of course Microsoft planning on at least 30 or so beta builds (like a lot of people are doing these days).
The rendering engine is the very core of the product, and considering how bolted on the tab implementation is (seriously, you have to *restart* IE to turn tabs on and off?), then there's little hope left for me.
How about the box model? Does IE 7 calculate background positions before or after padding? (IE 6 calculates these before padding, which demonstrates that the box model in IE6 is still fundamentally broken.) How about the other similar bug - where width of a child element is calculated based upon the width of the parent element before the width of the parent element is actually calculated (i.e. before the padding is taken into account)?
Any support for max-width and min-width? The lack of these two make it next to impossible to do decent page layout.
I think the new UI is a ploy by microsoft to leverage their monopoly position. People who buy new computers will be forced to use this layout, and get used to it. Then adopting another browser will require them to learn a whole new layout.
Yes learning a new layout is easy for us nerds, but hard for most users.
There are more details on what will be in 7.0 final - including CSS and HTML improvements!
Someone has posted a way to run IE7b1 side by side with IE6:
I was waiting for something like this :)
I think Microsoft has the web developer world where it wants them. Delivering piecemeal is creating a lot of talk.
In the end they will deliver the essentials and more to make developers happy and then devs will give IE 7 their blessing thereby deflating the Firefox market.
When it comes to marketing MS is very smart.
If we're serious about Firefox then we should spend our energy marketing and promoting FF even further, and taking IE's market.
Defeating your competition will drive them to follow not nagging them.
Nice article! I hope its true that the developer will improve CSS and HTML support until the final version will be released. This would be a great relief for all web developer.
What is going to happen with Mozilla Firefox? Will he disapear as quickly as he conquered the web?
Part of the lack of change comes due to the fact that while IE's lead has slipped, they are still dominant among the browsers. Changing too much would be like admitting defeat.
"What is going to happen with Mozilla Firefox? Will he disapear as quickly as he conquered the web?"
Well, like a friend said the other day after giving Opera a spin.. "I had to go back to Firefox because I missed my extensions so much"
The question is, just because IE has begun to catch up why should I make it my primary browser? Also don't forget all those people with WIN2K who won't get this new IE7
FYI, the IE7 Beta 1 Technical Overview (different from the IE7 Beta 1 "What's New" document) is available here:
"Supported Operating Systems: Windows 2000; Windows 95; Windows 98; Windows ME; Windows XP" - uh, whoops! Memo to Redmond: Remove all but the last one. (Yep, they've been kindly notified.)
Here's where it gets interesting:
"Web developers have expressed some frustration with certain peculiarities in the behavior of Internet Explorer 6, especially in the areas of standards support. Application developers also want to take advantage of new capabilities of the Web but have been required to develop everything from the ground up to do so. …
"In Internet Explorer 7 beta 1, the browser architecture has been reengineered to address compatibility and will offer additional support for popular standards. …
"CSS is a widely used standard for creating Web pages. Internet Explorer 7 is prioritizing compliance to CSS standards by first implementing the features that developers have said are most important to them. As a result, in Internet Explorer 7 beta 1 Microsoft has addressed some of the major inconsistencies that can cause Web developers problems producing rich, interactive Web pages. The work Microsoft has done includes fixing some positioning and layout issues related to the way Internet Explorer 6 handles div tags. (More information about these bugs can be found online at http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/peekaboo.html and http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/guillotine.html .) The final release of Internet Explorer 7 will focus on improving the developer experience by reducing the time needed for developing and testing on different browsers."
I had commented over on my site about how the "What's New" document seems rather non-committal in the CSS realm, but that last sentence above actually offers something approaching a measurable goal. Agreed, the accent is on "approaching." (How much less time? how would you measure it? "Discuss.") I have yet to see anything about specific, measurable commitments regarding CSS1 and CSS2.1 but, even so, it's good to see in print.
Ahh! Just caught the IEBlog post in comment 47 as well. Wow. WOW!
PNG-24 transparency support in IE7 beta or is it png-8 semi-transparency ?? But again the IE proprietary alpha filter eg will keep on be needed for IE5.x -IE6. With IE comments to specify the first set of rules for IE6.x or lower. So we should wrap them in the IE (specify lower than IE7) comments and thus benefit that W3C CSS validator does not see the IE proprietary filters.
a code example:
<style type="text/css" media="screen, projection">
*html #someDiv{ filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(enabled=true,
sizingMethod=scale src='/images/png-24_transp.png'); background-image: none; background-repeat:
repeat; background-color: transparent; }
<style type="text/css" media="screen, projection">
in IE7 , leave these rules out of the IE comments
*html #someDiv {
background-image: url(/images/png-24_transp.png);
background-repeat: repeat;}
I also did not read the other comments,
I like books too.
Also the CSS import hacks for IE5 IE6 specific hacks could be more valuable except the validation
for the IE proprietary filters would be impossible.
@import "ie6win.css";
@media tty {
i{content:"";/*" "*/}} @import 'ie5win.css'; /*";}
}/* */
should be:
<style type="text/css" media="screen, projection">
*html #someDiv{ filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(
sizingMethod=scale src='/images/png-24_transp.png'); background-image: none; background-repeat:
repeat; background-color: transparent; }
I believe I got it figured out.
Seperating the code for IE5.x and IE6.x, IE7.x and up with IE comments and importing them so they can be deleted if in the future no need for them, import styles for IE5.x Mac supporting too png and PNG-supporting modern browsers and excluding again IE 5.x and IE6.x with html>body …
The entire code could not be posted here. No worry, an e-mail can do wonders.
My definite proposal to seperate the IE5.x and IE6 hacks for the PNGs with transparency channel and IE7 and up where it got fixed. Asuming our seperate css files are residing in a map 'css' and our images in a map named 'images'. note that the IE comments is like real HTML comments wrapped around but that did not get posted but this to get a general idea. The whole explanation I gladly refer too http://www.quirksmode.org/css/condcom.html
In our HTML:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/import_all_advancedstyles.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection">
<[if lt IE 7]>
<style type="text/css" media="screen, projection">
/* for ie5 and ie6 win , two advantages here: when no longer needed we can remove them and they are in IE comments so it will validate in our beloved CSS validator */
@import "/css/ie5win_ie6win_png_transparency_fix.css";
<[if gte IE 7]>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/fixed_png_24_ie7_and_up.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection">
The code for ie5win_ie6win_png_transparency_fix.css:
/* IE proprietary filter for IE5.x and Ie6.x */
/* this hack is not needed: * html someDiv , since we are using IE comments */
#someDiv { filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(
enabled=true, sizingMethod=scale src='./images/png-24_transp.png');
background-image: none;
background-repeat: repeat; /* can also do: background-repeat: no-repeat*/
background-color: transparent; }
The code for fixed_png_24_ie7_and_up.css:
#someDiv {
background: url(../images/png-24_transp.png) repeat;
The code for all_advancedstyles.css:
/* NOTE: here we use: html>body#someDiv otherwise IE WIN 5.x and IE 6.x WiN apply the styles */
/* a little extra for Ie5 Mac */
@import "ie5_mac_styles.css";
html>body#someDiv {
background: transparent url(../images/png-24_transp.png)repeat;
/* more styles here */
The code for ie5_mac_styles.css:
*/ ie5 mac supports png-24 transparency/*
#someDiv {
background-image: url(../images/png-24_transp.png)
background-repeat: repeat;
Hope this is understandable.
IE7 favicon works
Post about standards in IE7 on IEblog:
Shortly: improvements in standards support will be in Beta 2
Also one more note: eg IE4 WIN does support png-8 but for any design reasons we need transparency we can emulate transparency with a transparent checkered pattern gif, there is anayway no way hide the IE proprietary filters in IE comments thus validation errors cannot be hidden from the W3C validator. The main issue is that we want to have transparency.
So for eg IE4 (if need to support it) could do this, in some occasions. Make a transparent gif checker pattern where 1px is transparent, the other pixel next to it a color.
The updated code for all_advancedstyles.css:
/* NOTE: here we use: html>body#someDiv otherwise IE WIN 5.x and IE 6.x WiN apply the styles */
/* a little extra for Ie5 Mac */
@import "ie5_mac_styles.css";
/* Ie4 simulate transparency and only IE 4 will see it*/
*html #someDiv {
background-image: url(../images/checkerpattern.gif);
background-repeat: repeat;
html>body#someDiv {
background: transparent url(../images/png-24_transp.png) repeat;
Dave, what is your opinion on the entire code (spread over all the posts).
Also to avoid that IE5 or up will apply this code. you have to play with specifity. And put the IE conditionals last. So the rules in your normal stylesheet specific for IE4 and also seen by IE5.x and up is overwritten by the rules in the IE conditional comments.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/import_all_advancedstyles.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection">
<[if lt IE 7]>
<style type="text/css" media="screen, projection">
/* for ie5 and ie6 win , two advantages here: when no longer needed we can remove them and they are in IE comments so it will validate in our beloved CSS validator */
@import "/css/ie5win_ie6win_png_transparency_fix.css";
<[if gte IE 7]>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/fixed_png_24_ie7_and_up.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection">
First extract the IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe file using something like winrar. Then go to the folder you just extracted and delete the file SHLWAPI.DLL. Then open notepad and just save a blank file in notepad as IEXPLORE.exe.local . Then you will be able to run the iexplore.exe.
should be for (import_all_advancedstyles.css):
/* IE4 simulate transparency */
*html #someDiv {
background-image: url(../images/checkerpattern.gif);
background-repeat: repeat;
/* png-24 browsers */
html>body#someDiv {
background: transparent url(../images/png-24_transp.png) repeat;
/* put IE5 Mac styles after, if need to emulate transparent image for IE4, so when IE5 Mac imports his styles, this line: background-image: url(../images/png-24_transp.png) will be used for IE5 Mac because it is overwritten */
@import "ie5_mac_styles.css";
fix PNG hacks for IE5.x and IE6.x WIN
To sum it up: the easy scenario with the least of css.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/import_all_advancedstyles.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection">
<[if lt IE 7]>
<style type="text/css" media="screen, projection">
@import "/css/ie5win_ie6win_png_transparency_fix.css";
#someDiv { filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(
enabled=true, sizingMethod=scale src='./images/png-24_transp.png');
background-image: none; /* extra style needed to make it work, other background styles are grouped in the normal stylesheet */
background-color: transparent;
/*background: transparent ; extra style for 'non png transparency' supporting browsers like IE4 otherwise a blue-grayish background would appear instead */
#someDiv {
background: transparent url(../images/png-24_transp.png) repeat ;
Glad MS are making the effort and everything, albeit a tad late, but even when they say they're doing things they're still not. Take the :hover pseudo-class for example, in the blog they quote it as being fixed for all elements in the Beta 1. But its not. A simple test will reveal that you still can't use :hover on anything but anchors. Aaargh.
Matthew: Where did they claim :hover was fixed in beta 1? The only list I see it on is labeled "Though you won't see (most of) these until Beta 2…"
On the blog, they list the bug fixes in beta 1 followed by the support fixes. It also claims they added selector support, which also doesn't work.
The comment "Though you won't see (most of) these until Beta 2" is referring to the statement "In IE7, we will fix as many of the worst bugs that web developers hit as we can", not the list below. Everything listed below is what's supposed to be supported in beta 1.
And its statements like:
"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)."
that worry me. If they're not even aware that 2.1 IS the recommended specification, how are we even supposed to rely on the developers to produce a browser thats even remotely capable of rendering standards compliant pages correctly?
Matthew: If you compare the CSS2 page with the CSS2.1 page, you'll see that CSS2 is a "Recommendation" while CSS2.1 is a "Working Draft":
It is for this reason, I believe, that support for "display:inline-block" was actually *removed* from Firefox— since it was officially "Recommended" yet. (Ludicrous, of course, since it's been in IE for ages…)
Hopefully the list distributed on the IEBlog will actually be completed, so we can stop worrying so much about IE support and more on simply designing. It's excellent that the IE team have started working with WaSP again to improve their browser.
I guess my prediction was correct about IE7 (see post 43).
IE conditional comments in standalone IE7 beta wont work thus not be tested:
a) it is a beta so doing eg IE conditional comments dont work because it cannot detect a beta version, even with a fix see Repairing Conditional Comments:
<![if IE 7.0]>
<style type="text/css">
#myDivie {background: transparent url(images/bg.png) no-repeat bottom right;}
b) its a beta so conditional comments cannot be fixed, because it aint a full version yet
A simple version detect will give the right version namely IE7, using Navigator.appName will give IE7.0B
It appears that the W3C have moved 2.1's status back to "Working Draft", maybe in part to give the IE team less things to implement and bring out a working browser sooner.
And it appears that most of the things in the list on the blog are things that will be fixed for IE7, or at least beta 2, and not things that were fixed for beta 1. So IE7 really is just IE6 with tabbed browsing. And it looks worse.
Why are people defending this project? It doesn't make any sense that so many people are having to put so much time and effort into something that should have worked correctly a long time ago.
A friend who writes for MSDN sent me this: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/07/29/445242.aspx
Looks like a LOT of the issues are addressed in Beta 2
IE7 Beta 1 for Windows XP SP2 is in fact available for MSDN Subscribers.
How hard can it be to adhere to standards?
I don't understand why, when the W3C standards are very clearly laid out, and everyone here knows what they mean, the IE team still can't make their browser obey the rules.
Initially I thought that the shortcomings of IE were to do with a misinterpretation of the rules - I assumed the box-model mistake was just a cock-up, and transparency in .png files was something new that would be included as soon as possible.
It seems IE7 now does come with alpha-channel support for PNGs, but what about everything else?
Are they deliberately flaunting the rules?
I think you gave credit to the wrong person for discovering how to have more than one version of IE running on the same platform. Here's where I belive it originated… http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum21/6339.htm
It appears a full year before the first comment on Joe's website.
Chad, comment #77 – Webmaster World requires a login, so I can't verify. Regardless, a lot of people first learned about it from Joe's article in 2003. If someone else discovered it prior to that point, they sure kept quiet about it.
IE is simply the Quark of web browsers…
Was it Joe or not? That did standalone IEs …
A comment from Dr. Doc, a webmasterworld forum regular that replied to that same past back in 2003.
"IE is simply the Quark of web browsers…"
This is what one could call a enigmatic sentence.
The whole story about teamwork involved in making these standalone IEs work once and for all times to come.
Look for the fresh and well-documented comment of Joe Maddalone:
From: Joe Maddalone
to Chad: it was teamwork: Asians, jobarr, Joe Maddalone etc…. All get the credit for one or other part in getting the IEs standalone work.
according to Joe Maddalone, here it was mentioned first in 2002(asian, found one name on that page: Mayuki Sawatari) …
the page is in Japanese, want english translation (acceptable translation), try http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish select japanese to english and copy-paste the link http://www.misuzilla.org/docs/ie-SxS
Well let's hope Team IE get's the whole standards issue sorted out in IE7.
I was just making a new blog layout and well it went wrong a the first grpahic is used, in FF it just diplayed it perfectly but in IE i apparantly can't really count pixels so there immediatly is a difference of 1 px in my display :S
Well enough said, let's see if they understand after all those years
This is the most complete review (developers' look) of IE7 beta so far (personal opinion):
They've also said they're not aiming for Acid2 fixes… which doesn't really worry me all that much.
If you were Microsoft, what would you rather do? Fix issues that CSS developers have every day, or fix issues from a single test which is often held up by CSS' proponents as a "holy grail" of compatibility sorts and gain their <3, but ignore more pressing issues like disappearing floats and text jogs and the like?
The fixed background images in Div's other then the body, is still not working in IE7. The list of bugs in IE7 Beta is endless, and there are some new ones too (filters not working like they should etc, and forget also future compliance with CSS 3, like multiple columns or 2 background pics, tables etc.)
This is good for web designers, since we will still be able to bill higher prices to our customers that want cross browsers solutions! Thank you MS for helping us make more money!
It just blows my mind that Microsoft, a company that certainly doesn't have budget problems, can't keep up with anyone else. It seems like everything they do is based on crap that has been around for years. Everything they make is barely better than whats already outdated. Windows Live? Tabbed Browsing? Alpha support?
It's like their idea of an innovation is a 57kbps modem…
I believe I got it figured out.
Seperating the code for IE5.x and IE6.x, IE7.x and up with IE comments and importing them so they can be deleted if in the future no need for them, import styles for IE5.x Mac supporting too png and PNG-supporting modern browsers and excluding again IE 5.x and IE6.x with html>body …
The entire code could not be posted here. No worry, an e-mail can do wonders.
Seems like IE7 beta2 is out now. Any news about further CSS Updates?
I would be ecstatic to find a decent XHTML/CSS editor that supports some semblance of AJAX development. I am a developer with a goal of producing standards-based XHTML/CSS, but my experience has been that the big webpage editors don't support that goal very well. If I could have that, along with a little AJAX support, I'd be as happy as a lark. My fear, though, is that DreamWeaver will never support AJAX well because it is effectively completing techology with Flash.
There is a css hack that works for all versions of internet explorer, including ie7. You can read about it here:
Anybody has a trick to run simultaneasly IE6 + IE7 ?
I'm very interested to see the new IE7, even though I probably wouldn't use it very much… Firefox is maybe still the better way to use.
"IE7 Beta 2 Preview" (What a name!) Still has peekabo. And none of the standard peekaboo fixes fix it!
Clicking the zoom button "fixes" it when it re-paints, so I know it could draw it right, theorietically.
On the blog, they list the bug fixes in beta 1 followed by the support fixes. It also claims they added selector support, which also doesn't work.
The comment "Though you won't see (most of) these until Beta 2" is referring to the statement "In IE7, we will fix as many of the worst bugs that web developers hit as we can", not the list below. Everything listed below is what's supposed to be supported in beta 1.
No wonder IE7 head Gary Schare uses maxthon browser.

Guidelines for AIPG Associate Editors
American Institute of Professional Geologists

(303) 412-6205, FAX (303) 253-9220, E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
We ask that you review the articles as promptly as you can. The editor will make final decision as to what is published. Please remember that The Professional Geologist (TPG) is not a scientific journal. It is the quarterly journal of the AIPG.
In reviewing an article you should ask yourself, and make recommendations on the following questions:
- Do you consider the article suitable for TPG?
- Although the article may be about a specific field, would it appeal to most geologists?
- Does the article offer information; scientifically or professionally, that would be of interest to most geologists?
- Is the article well written? Does it use good grammar throughout, and does it "flow"?
(We do edit somewhat for English, so be prepared to do that; but we will not rewrite an entire article).
- Lastly, and very importantly, is the article accurate scientifically and factually. We cannot check all of the facts, and we may not agree with a particular theory. If an article is sound and accurate, whether or not we agree, it is probably okay. However, we do not want to publish spurious articles. If in doubt, have the author provide verification.

Colorado weather: April outlook offers little hope to reverse March's warm, dry trend
The days ahead could help us out a little more, if they would. April is Denver's fifth-snowiest month with an average of 6.8 inches over the past 30 years. Limb-snapping snowstorms are no stranger to the Mile High City in April. Three of Denver's 14 biggest blizzards occurred in April.
The National Weather Service's outlook for the month ahead, however, shows "a bias toward above normal temperatures and below normal precipitation." And if the month ahead doesn't seem enough like the month that just passed, "the persistent pattern of periodic windy conditions can be expected east of the Continental Divide," the National Weather Service predicts.
We could use a different course, preferably a muddy one. The statewide snowpack is at a dire 50 precent of its 30-year average, and the Colorado River basin, home to some of Denver Water's most vital reservoirs, is at 47 percent of average.
Today, the Colorado Climate Center said 98 percent of the state is in a drought, and Denver just wrapped up its driest March on record and second-warmest.
