"Until IE is reasonably standards-compliant you can expect no quarter from us. We've spent too much time designing web sites that will work for CSS and then work for IE. We've destroyed budgets, pissed off our bosses, irritated clients and made development more expensive because of your little (Rosemary's) baby.

We web developers [are] fully aware that when your sweaty, monkey-boy of a boss was leaping around onstage chanting 'developers! developers! developers!', he most certainly wasn't thinking about us."

193 bugs in Internet Explorer 7 for Windows

1- Non-defined value of option is not set to the contents of the OPTION element Firefox 1.x, Firefox 2.x, Opera 9.x, Safari 2, Safari 3.0.2, Konqueror 3.5.8, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, NS 7.2, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass this test. Another interesting testcase for this bug is initial value of the 'value' attribute of <option> is not set to the contents of the element by Nisse Engström. This bug has been reported at connect's IE beta feedback as bug 348515.

2- Top: <percentage> on relatively positioned element where its containing block's height is auto must be resolved as top: auto Firefox 1.x, Firefox 2.x, Opera 9.23, Opera 9.50a1, Safari 2, Safari 3.0.3, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, NS 7.2, K-meleon 1.x, Konqueror 3.5.8, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass this test.

3- Constrained link is shrinked by wrapping cell
This bug happens often. The web author creates a site menu based on a table, defines display: block for the link in order to make the link clickable in the whole area of the cell, then uses width: 100% (instead of width: auto). NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Seamonkey 1.x, K-meleon 1.x, Firefox 1.x, Firefox 2.0, Safari 2.0, Safari 3.0.2, Opera 9.01, Konqueror 3.5.4, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Galeon 2.0.1, Epiphany 2.14 all pass this test.

13- Id versus name when using getElementById is incorrectly implemented This one has been reported by many people, including Peter-Paul Koch. This bug has been reported at connect's IE beta feedback as bug 333979 and has also been reported at Web Bug Track bug 152: getElementById returns incorrect objects in IE.

14- Background-color of select must be transparent so that color of selected option gets visible, is shown. Opera 9.50, Konqueror 3.5.8 all pass this test.

14- SelectElement.value should return the value which would be submitted, if the user had clicked the submit button Another testcase for this bug is initial value of the 'value' attribute of <option> is not set to the contents of the element by Nisse Engström. Credit must go to Kyle Mulin for explaining this bug and for providing an initial, working testcase along with useful explanations, details in IE Blog in January 20th 2006. Firefox 1.x, Firefox 2.x, Opera 9.x, Safari 2, Safari 3.0.2, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, NS 7.2, K-meleon 1.x, Konqueror 3.5.8, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass this test.

16- When HTML 4 rules attribute is defined for rows, cols or groups, then the border-collapse value must be collapse in CSS 2.1 Firefox 2.x, Firefox 3, Opera 9.x, Safari 3.0.4, Konqueror 3.5.8, NS 7.2, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass these 3 tests. This bug has been reported at connect's IE beta feedback as bug 351855.

Update: This bug turns out to be INVALID. From the beginning, I assumed that currentStyle (and then, later, runtimeStyle) equated/was for IE the W3C equivalent of getComputedStyle.

17- tbody {height: 150px; overflow: auto;} does not work

Update: This bug turns out to be INVALID. From the beginning, I assumed that overflow could apply to table-row-group objects (like <tbody>) but the overflow property, as defined by CSS 2.1 specification, section 11.1.1, does not apply to table-row-group objects.

"The hasLayout problem affects designers (and coders) at all experience levels.
[The has]Layout has unusual and hard to predict effects (...)"

On having layout, by Ingo Chao, June 19th 2007

29- Incoherences with offsetLeft, offsetTop and offsetParent implementations. If an object has no offsetParent, then its offsetLeft value must be 0 and its offsetTop value must be 0. If an object's offsetLeft value is 0 and its offsetTop value is also 0, then such object's offsetParent attribute must be null otherwise the definitions provided at MSDN do not make sense. offsetLeft, offsetTop and offsetParent demo Ambiguities, incoherences and circular dependencies have been reported by other observers.

"Internet Explorer takes their usual route and ignores the required comma separated values and only supports the optional comma-less method. So, even though using commas is the correct method, you'll need to drop the commas in order for the clip property to work in Internet Explorer (even in IE7)." taken from Misunderstood CSS Clip by Nicholas Gagne. This is also reported in the tutorial Creating Thumbnails Using the CSS Clip Property by seifi.org in the following manner:
"The W3C recommendation suggests using commas between the coordinates, however this is broken in Internet Explorer. Strangely using the commas in IE does not work when in standards-compliant mode, but it does work when in quirks mode.".

34- Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 fail to collapse adjoining [top | bottom] margins according to CSS 2.1. 1st Demo According to CSS 1, section 4.1.1 and CSS 2.1, section 8.3.1,

37- Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 fail to clear according to CSS 2.1 spec.; there is also this important additional demo on clear which is more revealing of the way Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 fail to clear elements. Firefox 1.5.0.7, Firefox 2.0, Opera 9.02, Konqueror 3.5.5, Safari 2.0, Safari 3.0.2, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16 all pass this test. This bug is very often encountered and very often reported in web authoring newsgroup discussion forum as breaking basic CSS columnar layout; e.g.: CSS columnar layout that fails in MSIE 7: 5th demo (Mike Barnard)

38- Horizontal rule's css color Firefox 2.x, Firefox 3, Opera 9.10, Safari 2.0.4, Safari 3.0.2, Konqueror 3.5.5, Amaya 9.53, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, NS 7.2, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2.0.4, Epiphany 2.22.3 all pass this test. "Essentially, IE treats them [horizontal rules] as inline elements, while the others [browsers] treats them [horizontal rules] as block elements." coming from How do I style an hr?
<hr> is a block-level element, not an inline-element.

39- Negative margin on a floated block Firefox 2.x, Firefox 3, Opera 9.20, Safari 2.0.4, Safari 3.0.2, Konqueror 3.5.5, Amaya 9.55, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, NS 7.2, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2.0.4, Epiphany 2.22.3 all pass this test.

40- Absolutely positioned elements are very difficult to select (highlight) precisely, conveniently via keyboard (Shift+ left/right arrow keys) or via mouse (caret dragging). Steps to reproduce: load this Basic 2 Columns CSS layout that fails (usability) in MSIE 7 demo page and then try to select text precisely in the right orange column. No problem whatsoever with Firefox 2, Opera 9, Safari 2, Safari 3.0.2, Konqueror 3.5.8, Amaya 9.55, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, NS 7.2, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2.0.4, Epiphany 2.22. Absolutely impossible for MSIE 6 and MSIE 7.

41- Infinite loop related to overflow and position: fixed

WARNING: This webpage testcase creates very severe problems to Internet Explorer 7. Before loading this testcase webpage, make sure you have the Windows Task Manager opened (right-click on the task bar and select Task Manager) so that you can view, monitor the CPU %tage activity for processes

  1. Load the Infinite loop related to overflow and position: fixed page. Observe the incomplete (too long scrollbar thumb) rendering of the vertical scrollbar in the Subject Index Pane. For some MSIE 7 users, already at this point, the CPU %tage for iexplore.exe process will become maximized and will not return to normal
  2. If the CPU %tage for iexplore.exe process is still not abnormally high and maintained abnormally high, then just select, highlight a word with the mouse in the Subject Index Pane

To deactivate the infinite loop and its consequent maximized CPU %tage activity (hang bug), just scroll down the vertical scrollbar of the Subject Index Pane with the scrollbar thumb.

This bug is a serious bug.

42- Dynamically DOM-created and DOM-inserted form controls are not DOM-fetchable, not DOM-queryable This bug was also reported by Aaron Gustafson in Death to bad DOM Implementations in september 2005.

48- Failure to parse incorrect selector (wrong syntax with involving a comma) "(...) since it is not known if the comma may acquire other meanings in future updates of CSS, the whole statement should be ignored if there is an error anywhere in the selector, even though the rest of the selector may look reasonable in CSS 2.1." coming from CSS 2.1, Section 4.1.7 Rule sets, declaration blocks, and selectors NS 6.1, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.1, NS 7.2, Seamonkey 1.x, K-meleon 1.x, Firefox 1.x, Firefox 2.x, Safari 2.0, Safari 3.0.2, Opera 9.x, Amaya 9.54, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Konqueror 3.5, Galeon 2.0.2, Epiphany 2.14 all pass this test.

"(...) CSS features that we can honestly list as having 'full' or even 'partial' support in IE are few and far between (color is one, font-size is not). Most of them are 'buggy', even in IE7 ... and we expect even more IE bugs to come out of the woodwork once we release the Web version of the reference for public comment.

Obviously, with IE7 Microsoft made great strides in correcting the most glaring and painful issues that plagued developers in IE6. But the unavoidable truth revealed by this reference is that Internet Explorer is still miles behind the competition."

56- Javascript reserved keyword const is not supported MSIE 7 does not support the javascript reserved keyword const used to declare and to define constants. Firefox 2.0.0.4, Safari 2, Safari 3.0.2, Opera 9.21, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass this test.

Update november 21st 2008: August 26th 2008 ECMAScript 3.1 proposal suggests object.freeze instead to "sets the writable attribute to false for every own data property of the object.". const as a reserved word has been deleted from ECMAScript 3.1 proposals and drafts.

57- Absence of user interface for choosing an alternate stylesheet This absence of support has been reported for now 10 years by webstandards.org in its IE 5 Top 10 CSS Problems.
CSS 1, section 1.1 states
"The 'LINK' element references alternative style sheets that the reader can select".
CSS 2.1, section 3.2 UA Conformance states
"5. If the source document comes with alternate style sheet sets (such as with the 'alternate' keyword in HTML 4), [then] the UA must allow the user to select which style sheet set the UA should apply."
HTML 4.01, section 14.1 states
"User agents should give users the opportunity to select from among alternate style sheets or to switch off style sheets altogether."
HTML 4.01, section 14.3.1 and section 14.3.2 states
"Authors may specify a number of mutually exclusive style sheets called alternate style sheets. Users may select their favorite among these depending on their preferences. (...) User agents should provide a means for users to view and pick from the list of alternate styles."
W3C User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0, guideline 4.14, provision 1 states
"Allow the user to choose from and apply alternative author style sheets (such as linked style sheets)."
Apply alternative author style sheets test from WAI and the UAAG test suite
This issue has also been reported by Mark "Tarquin" Wilton-Jones in his No, Internet Explorer did not handle it properly: Alternate Stylesheets and by Paul Sowden in his November 2001 article Alternative Style: Working With Alternate Style Sheets. Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2, Firefox 3, Opera 9.27, Opera 9.50, Konqueror 3.5.8, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, NS 7.2, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass this test.

58- Formatted alternate text is not implemented Alternate text for nonexistent images should be rendered as specified by markup code. This bug will still occur even if the MSIE 7 user has the Tools/Internet Options.../Advanced tab/Accessibility section/Always expand ALT text for images checkbox checked. Firefox 2.0.0.4, Opera 9.21, Konqueror 3.5.8, Amaya 9.55, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass this test.

59- In CSS 2.1, identifiers (class, id) can not start with a hyphen followed by a digit. Firefox 2.0.0.5, Opera 9.22, Safari 3.0.4, Konqueror 4.1.2, NS 7.2, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass this test. NS 7.0, Konqueror 3.5.8 and Safari 3.0.2 partially pass the test.

60- A relatively positioned child is not clipped, hidden by parent with overflow: hidden. This bug has also been reported and described by Alan Gresley's Overflow hidden with relatively positioned child bug report and in connect's bug 332028 CSS overflow test by JackChapple. Firefox 2.0.0.5, Opera 9.22, Safari 3.0.2, Konqueror 3.5.8, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass this test.

61- A relatively positioned inline child is not clipped, hidden by parent with overflow: hidden Firefox 2.0.0.5, Opera 9.22, Safari 3.0.2, Konqueror 3.5.8, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass this test.

62- The value of usemap must match the value of the name attribute of the associated map element. This comes directly from the HTML 3.2 and HTML 4.01 spec. Firefox 2.0.0.5, Safari 3.0.2, Konqueror 3.5.8, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass this test.

63- Non-floated <div> unexpectedly wraps around a right-floated <div> on next line. The test can be better (or also) seen when resizing the browser window. Firefox 2.0.0.6, Safari 3.0.3, Opera 9.22, Konqueror 3.5.8, Amaya 9.55, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2.x, Epiphany 2.x all pass this test.

64- CSS columnar layout that fails in MSIE 7: 3rd demo: because of its left: auto miscalculation offset bug, the navigation menu links at the top are incorrectly offset. Firefox 2.0.0.6, Safari 3.0.3, Opera 9.22, Konqueror 3.5.8, Konqueror 4.1, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2.x, Epiphany 2.x all pass this test. Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16 positions navigation menu links at the top with the correct offset but it does not render the whole webpage as expected. This bug has been reported at connect's IE beta feedback as bug 339084.

65- 1px dotted borders are rendered as dashed if any of its 4 sides has a different border-width. Despite claims from IE blog on August 22nd 2006, this is still a non-fixed bug. Firefox 2.0.0.6, Safari 3.0.3, Opera 9.22, Konqueror 3.5.8, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Amaya 9.55, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2.x, Epiphany 2.x all pass this test. This bug has also been reported by others, including Dan in dotted borders test in Internet Explorer 7.

66- Float bug when containing block has a specified width. When a containing block has a specified width (e.g. "width: 335px;"), its float (if sufficiently long, tall) must protrude out of its containing block, must spill past the bottom of its containing block and extend outside, below and the text of its next sibling must be "pushed aside". Firefox 2.0.0.6, Opera 9.23, Safari 3.0.3, Konqueror 3.5.8, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.1.2, Galeon 2.x, Epiphany 2.x all pass this test. This bug has also been reported by several others, including Rubb in Float bug in IE when container has width specified and by Nick Rigby in containing float bug example.

67- Links in <ul> styled with display: block do not trigger :hover when hovering the mouse cursor over their non-text part if they are at the same vertical position as text in a next sibling. Firefox 2.0.0.6, Opera 9.23, Opera 9.50, Safari 3.0.3, Konqueror 3.5.8, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.1.2, Galeon 2.x, Epiphany 2.x all pass this test. This sort of bug happens often in CSS columnar webpage templates (e.g.: Bridge CSS columnar template and is reported often in newsgroups (e.g.: http://www.itzehoer.de/ in alt.html newsgroup forum discussion on May 4th 2007 under the subject line Link-Problem with IE7) and is one reason why amateur web authors resort to display: table-cell, bizarre hacks, ugly and non-forward-compatible hacks or/and even table-based layout design. This bug has been reported at connect's IE beta feedback as bug 332625.

68- Vertical-align should NOT and must NOT apply to <ul> with list-style-image. Firefox 2.0.0.6, Opera 9.23, Opera 9.50, Safari 3.0.3, Konqueror 3.5.8, Seamonkey 2.0a1pre, Konqueror 3.5.2, Seamonkey 1.x, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2 all pass this test.

69- Rendering ALT text for images as inline and expanding the image placeholder dimensions as required by the alt text. When an image can not be displayed - for whatever the reasons -, then the alt text should be rendered as inline and image frame/placeholder dimensions should be ignored. Firefox 2.0.0.6, Amaya 9.55, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.0a1pre, Seamonkey 1.x, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2 all pass this test.

70- Images should be underlined in the following testcases:

Firefox 2.0.0.6, Safari 2.0.4, Safari 3.0.3, Konqueror 3.5.8, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.0a1pre, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, NS 7.2 all pass these 3 tests.

Update: This bug 70 turns out to be INVALID for CSS 2.1; CSS 3 text module (latest Working Draft: January 19th 2012), section 10.1 now states that text-decoration does not apply to images.

71- Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 fail to collapse adjoining bottom margins according to CSS 2.1: Collapsing adjoining bottom margins and position bug demo According to CSS 1, section 4.1.1 and CSS 2.1, section 8.3.1,

Credit must go to Tim Snadden for his Internet Explorer Background Position Bug demo. This bug has been reported at connect's IE beta feedback as bug 348564.

73- Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 position wrongly the border of a paragraph: Mispositioned border demo. Firefox 2.0.0.7, Opera 9.50, Safari 3.0.3, Konqueror 3.5.5, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.0a1pre, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Amaya 9.55, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16 all pass this test.

74- Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 wrongly style <col>: <col> styled by color declaration demo. Firefox 2.0.0.7, Opera 9.50, Safari 3.0.3, Konqueror 3.5.5, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.0a1pre, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Amaya 9.55, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16 all pass this test.

75- Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 return a cell collection on a table: HTMLCollection cells is not an attribute of HTMLTableElement demo. Firefox 2.0.0.7, Safari 3.0.3, Konqueror 3.5.5, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.0a1pre, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2 all pass this test.

76- Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 do not support several CSS 2.1 list-style-type: decimal-leading-zero, lower-greek, lower-latin, upper-latin, armenian and georgian demo Firefox 2.0.0.7, Opera 9.50, Safari 3.0.3, Konqueror 3.5.5, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.0a1pre, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, all pass this test. Amaya 9.55 partially pass this test.

77- Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 render a padding box for empty block-level element when they are preceded by an inline element: Empty block-level element demo Firefox 2.0.0.8, Opera 9.50, Safari 3.0.3, Konqueror 3.5.5, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.0a1pre, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, NS 6.1, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16 all pass this test.

78- Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 do not collapse margin-top accordingly between <body> and first in-flow block-level child: Margin-top collapsing demo Firefox 2.0.0.8, Opera 9.50, Safari 3.0.3, Konqueror 3.5.5, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.0a1pre, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, NS 6.1, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Amaya 9.55 all pass this test.

79- Internet Explorer 5, Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8 beta 2 do not increase or decrease correctly nested block-level elements when they use font-size: 1em: EM text resizing bug demo. This is a widely known, very frequently encountered and reported bug in Internet Explorer 5, Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7. Basically, the problem with setting the font-size in EM is that increasing or decreasing text size will grow or shrink fonts out of proportion (exponentially) for nested block-level elements. Firefox 2.0.0.8, Opera 9.50, Safari 3.0.3, Konqueror 3.5.5, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.0a1pre, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, NS 6.1, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Amaya 9.55 all pass this test. This bug has been reported at connect's IE beta feedback as bug 339085. This IE 5+ bug has been reported many times, in many newsgroup discussion forums on web authoring, in various webpages, blogs from web developers. It's really worth mentioning a few of them and quoting some highly relevant testimonials describing accurately the effects of this bug:

"IE gets its text resizing horribly wrong when just using ems. (...) bump the text size up or down, and you'll notice that IE scales ems far more drastically than percentages, resulting in too big / too small text."
from Patrick H. Lauke, May 18th 2004, Weblog comments: How to size text using ems

"text sized in ems can be resized across all browsers. However IE6 and IE7 unacceptably exaggerate the smallness and largeness of the resized text"
from Richard Rutter, November 20th 2007, How to Size Text in CSS

"However, (gasp) IE has a problem with ems. Resizing text from medium (default) to large in IE5/6 would lead to a huge increase in font size rather than the gradual one expected"
from Jon Tan, September 27th 2007, The Incredible Em & Elastic Layouts with CSS

"If for instance you set the root element (either <body> or <html>) to font-size:1em, then just setting View > Text Size to 'smaller' can cause the text to become unreadably small."
from css-discuss.incutio.com, 2007, UsingEms, A word of caution concerning Internet Explorer

"When I tried font-size:1em, my IE6 browser 'text size' will toggle from very tiny to very huge.
....Not acceptable for accessibility!"
from Krystof, August 29th 2005, Weblog comments: How to size text using ems

"Simply put, IE for Windows' relative font size inheritance cascade is broken. (...) If you find it necessary to size through cascade, you'll find % works more reliably than ems."
from InternetExplorerWinBugs, IE Font Sizing Bugs: Inheritance at css-discuss.incutio.com

Only 2 people explained and documented this bug in detail (with screenshots, examples, demos):

  1. em font-resizing bug in IE5 - IE7 by Gunlaug & Georg, November 20th 2005.
  2. Bug avec les unités relatives em et Internet Explorer by Florent Verschelde, 2005

This bug has been reported at connect's IE beta feedback as bug 339085.

80- Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 do not correctly support Number.toFixed() for numbers in the ranges {(-0.94,-0.5], [0.5,0.94)}: Number.toFixed() demo Firefox 2.0.0.8, Opera 9.50, Safari 3.0.3, Konqueror 3.5.x, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.0a1pre, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, NS 6.1, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16 all pass this test.

"(...) the next incarnation of the [Internet Explorer] bug database? What makes you think that there is ever going to be a next incarnation? (...) It has been 'temporarily' offline for more than a year. It isn't coming back.

(...) I have a solution, openness.
The IE team can start *actually* communicating with people, especially developers, about the content of IE8, the roadmap of IE's future, both with IE8 but also beyond that, and how they are going to address the issues that web developers still have with them. They can recreate (or create) a bug database in which developers can log IE issues and they can actually do *something* with the issues logged so that people can see progress.
(...) How about sitting down with the makers of the other browsers (like Opera, Apple, Mozilla, not to mention others) to discuss how they can work together for the common good of the web?

(...) There needs to be a way for developers to log real issues, which the IE team then triages and potentially responds to, *at all times*, not just during a beta. If they have a temporary bug database and then turn it off, I will understand why they do so but that doesn't really solve the problem of 'How do you report a serious bug or issue to the IE team?' and 'If you do report an issue, how do you know if it will ever be addressed?' These are real issues to people."
Al Billings, ex-Microsoft project manager (9 years) for the Internet Explorer team, February 23rd 2008, IE Blog

81- Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8 do not support favicon of type image/png (or of other types of image like gif): favicon of type image/png demo. A favicon (or web site icon) image in png (PNG is an official W3C web standard) or in gif image format are not supported by Internet Explorer for specifying favicon; only the .ico file format for specifying a favicon is supported by Internet Explorer. This is clearly insufficient.
Jeff Davis, IE project manager in his why doesn't the favicon for my site appear in IE7? states "It must actually be a .ico (an Icon) file. Bitmaps, pngs, gifs, etc, will not work.".
How to Add a Shortcut Icon to a Web Page at MSDN states "To create the icon, use an icon editor, such as the one included in Microsoft Visual Studio, and save the icon in the .ico file format. Internet Explorer will ignore icons that are not in .ico format, and will instead display the default Internet Explorer shortcut icon.".
Firefox 2.0.0.8, Firefox 3, Opera 9.50, Safari 3.0.3, Konqueror 3.5.8, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16 all pass this test. This bug has been reported at connect's IE beta feedback as bug 370228 by "ShadowChaser".

82- Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 treat <hr> elements as inline elements when the HTML 4 specification indicates that <hr> elements are block-level elements: Horizontal rule tests demo Firefox 2.0.0.8, Safari 3.0.3, Konqueror 3.5.2, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.0a1pre, K-meleon 1.x, Epiphany 2.20, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Amaya 9.55 all pass this test. This bug has been reported at connect's IE beta feedback as bug 408027. This bug has been closed by the IE team and will not be fixed for the release of IE 8 final.

83- Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 accept and honor nested media at-rules when nested media at-rules should (and must) be parsed as errors. Nested media at-rules demo Firefox 2.0.0.8, Opera 9.24, Opera 9.50, Konqueror 4.3.1, Amaya 9.55, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.0a1pre, K-meleon 1.x, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2 all pass this test. Credit must go to Gabriele Romanato :)for reporting this bug.

84- Internet Explorer 7 do not float elements with float: right in certain nested absolutely positioning situations. Float inside <div>s with position: absolute demo Internet Explorer 6 (almost), Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2.0.0.9, Safari 2.0.4, Safari 3.0.3, Opera 9.24, Opera 9.50, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Konqueror 3.5.2, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.0a1pre, K-meleon 1.x, Epiphany 2.20 all pass this test. Credit must go to Michael Hasenstein for his google's post "bug in IE7: a float:right does not float"

85- Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 do not resolve margin-top: auto to 0 and margin-bottom: auto to 0 as they should according to CSS 2.1, section 10.6.3 on Block-level non-replaced elements in normal flow which states

If 'margin-top', or 'margin-bottom' are 'auto', their used value is 0.

Margin-top: auto and margin-bottom are not resolved to 0 demo. This bug occurs very often to web authors and baffles them as they have no idea what is causing the vertical gap, vertical spacing between elements. Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2.0.0.9, Safari 2.0.4, Safari 3.0.3, Opera 9.24, Opera 9.50, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Konqueror 3.5.2, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.0a1pre, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2.0.2, Epiphany 2.14, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2 all pass this test.

86- Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 do not render default margin-top and margin-bottom in some cases where the container is floated. Default top and bottom margins for paragraph disappear unexpectedly demo. This bug occurs very often to web authors and baffles them as they have no idea as to why margin-top and margin-bottom disappear.

87- Internet Explorer 7 do not render max-width set to list-item correctly. Max-width and list-item demo. This bug creates 2 layout problems. First, the list-markers are all "1" instead of being incremented. Second, the list-marker appears on the left of the last line of the text of the list-item, not on the left of the first line of the list-item. Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2.0.0.9, Opera 9.24, Opera 9.50, Safari 2.0.4, Safari 3.0.4, Konqueror 3.5.8, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2.0.2, Epiphany 2.14, NS 7.0, NS 7.2 all pass this test. Credit must go to Chris Beall reporting this max-width declared on list-item bug.

88- CSS columnar layout that fails in Internet Explorer 6 and in Internet Explorer 7: 6th demo: because of its failure to support negative margin on floated elements, a whole column (left orange) is not visible, is not viewable. Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2.0.0.9, Safari 2.0.4, Safari 3.0.4, Opera 9.24, Opera 9.50, Konqueror 3.5.8, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 get the expected results. This bug has been reported in "Firefox and IE 7" in comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets forum message and can be noticed in a Holy Grail CSS columnar webpage demo coming from A List Apart article: In Search of the Holy Grail by Matthew Levine on January 30th 2006

89- Internet Explorer 7 does not render correctly left: auto and top: auto for absolutely positioned elements. This simple CSS drop-down list does not render as expected in Internet Explorer 7. Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2.x, Opera 9.24, Opera 9.50, Safari 3.0.4, Konqueror 3.5.8, K-meleon 1.x, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2 all pass this test.

90- Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 incorrectly honor invalid CSS property names: #, *, etc. Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2.x, Opera 9.24, Opera 9.50, Safari 3.0.4, Konqueror 3.5.8, Amaya 9.55, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, K-meleon 1.x, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2 all pass this test.

92- Infinite loop related to overflow

WARNING: This webpage testcase creates very severe problems to Internet Explorer 7. Before loading this testcase webpage, make sure you have the Windows Task Manager opened (right-click on the task bar and select Task Manager) so that you can view, monitor the CPU percentage activity for processes.

This CSS columnar webpage template creates an infinite loop (and then the iexplore.exe application hangs) due to an incomplete rendering in Internet Explorer 7. The painting of a whole <div> is not accomplished. Internet Explorer 7 will have huge and severe problems with this webpage. Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2.x, Opera 9.24, Opera 9.50, Safari 3.0.4, Konqueror 3.5.8, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, K-meleon 1.x, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2 all pass this test.

Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2.x, Opera 9.24, Opera 9.50, Safari 3.0.4, Konqueror 3.5.8, Amaya 9.55, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, NS 7.2, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass this test. This testcase originally comes from the CSS columnar webpage template Invasion v. 1.1 created and authored by Gabriele Romanato and all credits must go to Gabriele.

94- Empty element with a nested float child should not render background-color demo. Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2.x, Opera 9.24, Opera 9.50, Safari 3.0.4, Konqueror 3.5.8, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, NetFront 3.2 all pass this test.

99- Max-width and text-align interact incorrectly demo. A block-level element with a defined, specified max-width declaration will be floated to the right if text-align: right is specified for the body. This is wrong: only the text should be aligned to the right, not the block-level element itself. Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2.x, Safari 2.0.4, Safari 3.0.4, Opera 9.25, Opera 9.50, Konqueror 3.5.8, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass this test.

New Internet Explorer 7 tax

On June 13th 2012, Australian retailer Kogan.com has started to charge an extra 6.8% "tax" on any goods purchased by customers using Internet Explorer 7.

"The way we've been able to keep our prices so low is by using technology to make our business efficient and streamlined. One of the things stopping that is our web team having to spend a lot of time making our new website look normal on IE7. This is an extremely old browser, so from today, anyone buying from the site who uses IE7 will be lumped with a 6.8% surcharge - that's 0.1% for each month IE7 has been on the market:

It's not only costing us a huge amount, it's affecting any business with an online presence, and costing the Internet economy millions."

100- The last (in order of appareance) rule with same media, same importance, same origin, same specificity must prevail demo. According to CSS 2.1, section 6.4.1 Cascading order, when 2 css rules have the same media, same importance, same origin and same specificity, then the declarations of the last css rule must prevail: (...) if two declarations have the same weight, origin and specificity, the latter specified wins.. Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2.x, Safari 2.0.4, Safari 3.0.4, Opera 9.25, Opera 9.50, Konqueror 3.5.8, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass this test. This bug has been reported at connect's IE beta feedback as bug 344800.

101- Padding-left is not rendered in certain situations, when absolute positioning and nowrap are simultaneously involved, combined. Internet Explorer 6, Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2.x, Safari 2.0.4, Safari 3.0.4, Opera 9.25, Opera 9.50, Konqueror 3.5.8, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass this test.

102- Padding and border are rendered beneath body node. Since the blue-bordered inline-elements seem to have a lower stacking position than the red bordered body node in Internet Explorer 7, then the border and padding areas are not visible, not viewable, seem to be truncated. This is most likely the same bug as the Disappearing border-top bug reported by Ben Hollis and the same bug that is affecting this 1997 Web Standards Project basic testcase. Firefox 1.x, Firefox 2.x, Safari 2.0.4, Safari 3.0.4, Opera 9.25, Opera 9.50, Konqueror 3.5.8, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass this test.
CSS 2.1, Section 9.9.1 states
"Each stacking context consists of the following stacking levels (from back to front):
1. the background and borders of the element forming the stacking context.
2. the stacking contexts of descendants with negative stack levels.
3. a stacking level containing in-flow non-inline-level descendants.
4. a stacking level for floats and their contents.
5. a stacking level for in-flow inline-level descendants. (...)"
CSS 2.1, Section 9.9.1 Layered presentation; Specifying the stack level: the 'z-index' property

This bug has been reported at connect's IE beta feedback as bug 338799.

103- A negative margin-right is incorrectly rendered in a nested block. This bug happens often when designing, building a CSS columnar webpage template and is a great source of frustration among web authors. Firefox 1.x, Firefox 2.x, Safari 2.0.4, Safari 3.0.4, Opera 9.25, Opera 9.50, Konqueror 3.5.8, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass this test. Credit must go to Sjaak Priester for providing a testcase on this precise bug.

104- A negative margin-left applied to a nested block makes it impossible to select/highlight with the mouse. This bug becomes a clear usability problem for users. Firefox 1.x, Firefox 2.x, Opera 9.25, Opera 9.50, Safari 2.0.4, Safari 3.0.4, Konqueror 3.5.8, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass this test. Credit must go to Sjaak Priester for providing a testcase on this precise bug.

105- Any value given to button[value="x"] will cause IE 7 to CRASH This crash bug has been confirmed by many people so far and with different testcases: Antonio Bueno's original testcase, Alan Gresley's testcase. What is surprising and unbelievable is that a perfectly valid HTML 4.01 with strict DTD webpage of 215 bytes with valid CSS 2.1 code can crash like that. Firefox 1.x, Firefox 2.x, Safari 2.0.4, Safari 3.0.4, Opera 9.25, Opera 9.50, Konqueror 3.5.8, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, Amaya 9.55 all pass this test. Credit must go to Alan Gresley, Antonio Bueno and Brett Merkey :) for discovering, reporting and figuring out this bug.

106- "text-align: right;" wrongly floats a whole table to the right text-align should only affect inline-elements like text and/or image, and not shift whole elements like a table. Firefox 1.x, Firefox 2.x, Opera 9.25, Opera 9.50, Safari 2.0.4, Safari 3.0.4, Konqueror 3.5.8, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, Amaya 9.55 all pass this test.

107- Float, clear and margin bug Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 fail to clear a floated-left block. Internet Explorer 7 will render the margin-bottom of the last in-flow block before clearing. In Internet Explorer 6, the gap is equal to the same bottom margin plus the font-size in the clearance division. Firefox 1.x, Firefox 2.x, Opera 9.25, Opera 9.50, Safari 2.0.4, Safari 3.0.4, Konqueror 3.5.8, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, NS 6.2, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2, Amaya 9.55 all pass this test.

108- overflow: hidden is not applied to body node (1st demo) and overflow-y: hidden is not applied to body node (2nd demo) Firefox 2.x, Opera 9.50, Safari 3.0.4, Konqueror 3.5.8, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, K-meleon 1.x, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass both tests; Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16 passes only the 2nd demo. Credit must go to Gregor "hrax" Magdolen for discovering that bug and reporting it in his article IE7 Bugs: No overflow to your body article

109- Default type value for HTML button elements is submit, not button. This bug has been reported for many many years, in many websites and by many web authors. Firefox 1.x, Firefox 2.x, Firefox 3.x, Opera 9.25, Opera 9.50, Safari 2.0.4, Safari 3.0.4, Konqueror 3.5.8, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, NS 7.2, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass this test.

110- Querying button.value should return the value's attribute value. This bug has been reported for many many years, in many websites and by many web authors.

111- Internet Explorer sends the inner text of the button instead of its value. This bug has been reported in many websites and by many web authors, including Web Bug Track's bug 341: the button element submits the wrong value in IE. Firefox 1.x, Firefox 2.x, Firefox 3.x, Opera 9.25, Opera 9.50, Safari 2.0.4, Safari 3.0.4, Konqueror 3.5.8, K-meleon 1.x, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, NS 7.2, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass this test.

Credit must go to Sjaak Priester for discovering, reporting this bug and for providing a testcase on this precise bug and to Tino Zijdel for reporting this bug on August 21st 2006 at Chris Wilson's blog along with a relevant reflow and wrapping testcase.

113- Text-align should not affect how a nested block-level element is horizontally aligned inside its containing block. A table nested inside a cell formated with text-align: center will be centered within its containing block when only its text and inline content should be centered. Firefox 1.x, Firefox 2.x, Firefox 3, Opera 9.26, Opera 9.50, Safari 2.0.4, Safari 3.0.4, Konqueror 3.5.8, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Amaya 9.55, Dillo 0.8.6, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, NS 7.0, NS 7.2, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2, Epiphany 2 all pass this test.

"I've posted up my Internet Explorer voodoo doll in a few places and have gotten such a great response! It's beautiful to see how many of us are united in our hate for this browser

I've also had quite a few requests to sell them, but for several reasons this probably isn't a good idea. So instead I've made a nice easy tutorial for you to make one of your own. This pattern is very easily and doesn't have to be neat, so if you're thinking making your own IE plush to stab is too meduch work just think of how satisfied you will feel maiming it when it's done!"
Tutorial - Making the IE Voodoo Doll by Teresa Watts, October 10th 2007 and November 4th 2010

118- Image nested inside a label element with a for attribute unexpectedly does not transfert focus to its associated, targeted form control in Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8.

159- font shorthand and inherit are incorrectly parsed and rendered in Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8. "Shorthand properties take a list of subproperty values or the value 'inherit'. One cannot mix 'inherit' with other subproperty values as it would not be possible to specify the subproperty to which 'inherit' applied." coming from CSS 2.1, Appendix C. Changes, C.3.1 Shorthand properties. Firefox 2, Firefox 3, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, NS 7.2, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2.0.4, Epiphany 2.22 all pass this test.

160- Incorrect parsing and rendering of font-size when involving system font in Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8. It seems that subsequent CSS declaration can not override one font subproperty of font shorthand when styled with a font system reserved name such as message-box. Nevertheless, CSS 2.1, section 15.8 Shorthand font property: the 'font' property states "System fonts may only be set as a whole; that is, the font family, size, weight, style, etc. are all set at the same time. These [font subproperty] values may then be altered individually if desired." Firefox 2, Firefox 3.0.1, Shiretoko 3.1, Opera 9.52, Safari 3.1.2, Konqueror 3.5.9, Amaya 11 build 20081216, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, NS 7.2, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2.0.4, Epiphany 2.22.3 all pass this test. This bug has been reported at connect's IE beta feedback as bug 361181.

161- Parent should wrap around floated block child. Parent container will not wrap around a floated child followed by a clear. Longer lines will neutralize this bug behavior: so resizing the browser window viewport actually can trigger or neutralize this bug. Firefox 2, Firefox 3.0.1, Shiretoko 3.1, Opera 9.52, Safari 3.1.2, Konqueror 3.5.9, Amaya 10.0.1, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, NS 7.2, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2.0.4, Epiphany 2.22.3 all pass this test. This bug has been reported at connect's IE beta feedback as bug 361179.

This bug has been reported as affecting Internet Explorer 6 at Peter-Paul Koch website as bug "Ordered list rendering with width on LIs", in a few other websites and also by a certain Kevin.

164- Unquoted font-family names must not contain unescaped parentheses ( ), unescaped square brackets [ ], unescaped curly braces { }, unescaped exclamation marks !, etc. Firefox 2, Firefox 3.0.1, Shiretoko 3.1, Safari 3.1.2, Konqueror 4.1, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, NS 7.2, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2.0.4, Epiphany 2.22.3 all pass this test. Opera 9.52 fails 4 tests out of 16. This bug has been reported at connect's IE beta feedback as bug 361953. This bug has been closed by the IE team and will not be fixed for the release of IE 8 final.

166- Misused comma in font shorthand is ignored (CSS parsing issue). Misuse of commas in font shorthand declarations are honored instead of leading to appropriate rejection of involved CSS rules in Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8 beta 2. Firefox 3.5, Opera 9.52, Safari 3.1.2, Safari 4.0, Konqueror 4.1, Hv3 TKHTML alpha 16, Seamonkey 2.0a1pre (rv: 1.9.1b1pre) all pass these 2 tests.

167- Vertical-align: middle is incorrectly rendered, inaccurately implemented in Internet Explorer 5.x, 6, 7 and 8 beta 2.

Specific MSIE 7 bug collection sites

"(...) I author to standards, it takes a few minutes to tweak things to get everything perfect in browsers like Firefox and Safari, and then ages to work around all of Internet Explorer's bugs and shortcomings. The time to implement a decent XHTML Strict + CSS 2 design would be shortened by at least a third if Internet Explorer wasn't so buggy. I have measured this personally across a number of projects.
(...) CSS 2 is over six years old, and Microsoft have had employees in the CSS working group the whole time. (...) Given that Microsoft are the world's biggest software company, it looks very much like standards are deliberately being sabotaged. Is it any wonder web developers are starting to get royally pissed off with Microsoft?"
Jim, July 22nd 2004, IE Blog

Individual testcases or webpages that fail in MSIE 7

"The main problem is that IE does things wrong at such a fundamental level that there are bugs stacked on top of bugs. Many CSS properties have multiple bugs in them" - David Hammond, August 10th 2006

"there are still annoying bugs that haven't been fixed, new bugs that have been introduced, and important features that are missing. In other words, it is still a pain to make things work properly in Internet Explorer. (...) IE 7 will not even catch up to where other browsers were a couple of years ago" IE 7 is better but still lagging by Roger Johansson, September 28th 2006

Chris Wilson, Internet Explorer 7 and CSS 2.1 compliance

"It's not like the bugs haven't been written up, I submitted countless bugs in 1999 that were plainly mothballed like Internet Explorer too." - Koranteng Ofosu-Amaah, 2 May 2006

Browser conformance test suites

"For the last couple of years, we developers have been struggling with IE incompatibilities while creating and testing our sites. (...) IE7, however, was supposed to solve all these bugs, and add those all missing features. Nothing could be farther from the truth. (...) Although they've successfully fixed many bugs, it's still quite evident that their browser is still far from perfect."- IE7 still creating problems for developers? by Guillermo Rauch, March 18th 2007

"I've yet to find even one bug fix or new feature when it comes to DOM and scripting. I hope that Microsoft goes back to the drawing board and realizes that releasing IE7 in its current state is as bad as it would have been for Netscape to release Navigator 5 in 2002." IE7b2, is it intentionally this bad?, Erik Arvidsson, February 1st, 2006
