i tried the acid 2 test, with firefox, IE 6 and Opera 8 beta and the browsers all kinda failed

Firefox was of course the closet to rendering the image, but opera and IE were miles off.

Lets hope this test pushes all the major browsre manufactures to enhance their CSS support!!

Yow! My copy of IE (6.0/pc) won’t even *open* that acid test of yours! I must have let it read too much Tom Wolfe and scared it silly. Poor thing…

It will be interesting to see how IE7 works with the Web. Since MSN switched to a CSS-based layout, I’d think Microsoft has a bit more at stake in making their browser render pages according to Web standards (read as: correctly). Now, if they can just get someone to redesign MSN to render according to any sense of style! What a piece…

Bryant: Actually, I mean 24-bit PNG (w/ transparency) called via valid CSS, not via their proprietry hack…

Actually, IE handles 24-bit PNG already… I think you mean 32-bit PNG (with alpha transparency).

I’m tempted to think IE 7 won’t fix most of the CSS 2 bugs in IE 6, yet alone CSS 3, which Safari and Mozila partly support…
