IE7 Details
March 24th, 2006
Mezzoblue has some details on what rendering changes there are in the latest copy of IE7.
Apparently all the bugs listed here have been fixed apart from the escaping floats bug.
Fixed positioning is great. We use this on Evolution so the menu can stay in the same place when the page is scrolled. Works like frames. IE7 introduces this to Internet Explorer.
There's also the ability to have :hover on any element. This is useful when creating "tabs" or on navigation. At the moment, I make the hyperlink fill up the whole div and add :hover onto it. This will probably still be the best solution but :hover on any element is nice.
And proper PNG transparency is great. The chances are every web developer would have wanted this functionality at some point.
