Just woken up... What did I miss?
A rather belated Happy New Year to you all.
Despite telling DK that I would be around and blogging over Christmas, as you can see I have been a right lazy bastard. This blogging thing can make you a tad obsessive so I decided to take a short hiatus.
One bit of good news... I spend a day wrecking my laptop by installing Windows Vista (I can hear DK sighing already). It is still flaky but when it does work, it is slick and looks quite nice. I might have left it on my laptop, but missing drivers and shocking wireless lan quality made it impossible. The good bit was that Internet Explorer finally seems to render CSS2 properly (woohoo).
I still reckon you should all install Firefox, but a least IE7 should make web site designers lives a little easier.
UPDATE: I take it all back. IE7 is just as big a pile of steaming shite as IE6. Forget I said anything.

This is cautiously - good news, but does it behave like other browsers?
Does it, for instance, render inline padding, or apply the "hover" attribute to non-hyper-linked list objects?
And can you send us a copy...?

I am not that much of a CSS boffin. What I can say is that is successfully renders this site, which IE6 does not. The Blogroll does not render in IE6 properly and the Hover attribute is part of the problem. In IE7 it worked fine. I have taken it off my laptop for the moment. I will create a partition and bung it on again (last time I blasted it over the top of XP - not a good move, but there was nothing on the laptop I needed to keep)
It might behave better of a clean install - I'll give it a try and report back.
I only have a copy of Vista, not a separate IE7. It is the Community Technology Preview which I got through the Microsoft Developer Network. Can't give that away I'm afraid.
