IE Developer Center Refresh
We've just completed a redesign and refresh of the IE Developer Center on MSDN. The goal is to make it easier to find IE related developer content and even includes an updated photo of me with the neon blue 'e' behind me that you can find in the lobby of our building on the Redmond campus!
We've worked to make some of the essential links such as reference material easier to find and we will be promoting different content on the front page regularly making it well worth visiting on a regular basis or subscribing to the RSS feed. We have also made two MSDN forums to get support for web development and extension development for IE. These will be great resources if you have questions and people are encouraged to answer anything they know the answer to. If you have bugs to report or feedback to provide the links on the support page remain the best place to go.
Some articles along with numerous reference pages have also been updated with IE7 content over the last few months. In particular the Zentech page demonstrating the CSS improvements in IE7 is now available.
As always all feedback on how we can improve documentation is appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave Massy

Can you please remove PNG support from your list until you support it properly.
There are at least 2 major bugs with PNG support in IE7 at the moment.
1.) The Gamma is all wrong, meaning all images are darker than they should be.
2.) Transparency fails, if overlaid over any background that is also set to transparent.
Since the whole issue with PNG support that we complained about in IE6, was the lack of full alpha transparency, I see the current implementation as only half way there.
Please remove the statement, or fix the code to reflect it. - Anonymous

So, why is the developer center site still non W3C standards compliant? Table based layout, among other things, primarily caught my attention. I expected a redesign to use a little more CSS-P in celebration of the IE7 CSS fixes ;->.
p.s. Did I notice in your CSS that you're still supporting IE4 in your design? - Anonymous

You may want to take a look at the Web Development > DHTML area.
This section: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/dhtml_node_entry.asp
...starts off with "Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 gives you a rich set of properties and methods to dynamically construct and alter Web pages on the fly." It then proceeds to delve into some wonderfully ugly HTML 3-esque examples of markup you should never write any more.
At any rate, keep the doc updates coming! I don't use them for a multitude of reasons that would read like blatant flame attempts, but I know others do and I'd rather they read modern docs than continued to write some of the nastiness we still see today. - Anonymous

One thing I quickly notice about the Zen demo is the slow-rendering page (pc/graphics-card-dependent?). On my machine (2.8GHz Pentium 4 with a ATI Radeon X1600 Pro), smooth scrolling barely even responds. It also renders slower than, say, Opera 9 at the moment (which actually scrolls smoothly there).
Good job making such a page possible on IE, but optimize, optimize, optimize. - Anonymous

@Brett,
The redesign falls within the framework laid out for all MSDN developer centers with a requirement to work in older browsers. As those browsers become less prevalent we'll certainly work with that team to redesign their framework to use the latest CSS techniques.
@The Hater,
We are also undertaking an update of a number of the node pages over the next few months. I agree mentioning IE4 is hardly relevant to web developers today :)
Thanks for all the feedback

I'm honestly not trying to flame you, but the rest of us design for standards and then make our sites degrade in older browsers. You seem to be ignoring screen readers and other accessibility issues, opting instead for support of browsers that I seriously hope none of your developers are using.
I do appreciate your response (I like the personal aspect of this blog), and I also appreciate the need for compliance with corporate guidelines. Just wondering why Microsoft shouldn't be leading the way in web standards, rather than lagging years behind? - Anonymous

This latest post, somehow expressing pride in a "redesign," serves to emphasize a weakness of almost all the originating articles in the IEBlog: none of the originators are people who make a living making Web sites and Web applications.
The point of view is always from team members developing a desktop application — a browser. These are not people, for all their abilities, who have a practical knowledge of Web work. Hence the lack of real connection, despite intent.
No Web worker would ballyhoo such a redesign without blushing.

Dear microsoft, can you just fired this people and get someone that can get the job done or send Internet Explorer to Open Source?.
Many of the error that your devs said, fixed still are around.
Example: http://devzone.zend.com/node/view/id/627
Come on, before releasing IE7 or IE& RC2 get the RENDERING TRASH...oops I mean engine FIXED PLS. Stop making entries about things in which the IE dev team is working and don't get done with their releases.
If the rendering engine and css errors can't be fixed, the please give us a IEXP uninstaller that don't affect the built in windows update feature.

I want to voice my support to the IE team. You're doing a sterling job given all the negative aggro you seem to get on this blog.
I'm very pleased to hear that IE7 will be closer to supporting standards and features, and I love hearing about the IE team's ongoing commitment to improvement.
Reading comments like "we know we're not there yet" is nice cos it makes MS more human.

That
http://msdn.microsoft.com/ie/
page does not trigger standards compliant rendering mode. Why implement web standards in which, in practice, you do not believe in?? Why try (and partially succeed) to correct CSS bugs and then not use valid CSS code in the first place??
101 validation markup errors:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmsdn.microsoft.com%2Fie%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&outline=1&verbose=1
and well above 200 errors with lots of warnings for the CSS:
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmsdn.microsoft.com%2Fie%2F&warning=1&profile=css2&usermedium=all
What's the excuse here for not creating a valid page using valid code? Not enough time? Too many CSS bugs? Security?
Every single new webpage (or new webpage content) should be using a strict DTD, should pass markup validation testing and should pass CSS validation testing. What's so difficult to understand here?
Why resort to the old, rusted, bad coding practices (table design, lack of accessibility, etc.) over and over again with new webpages and with new webpage content?

My only complaint was the user interface, Its no more convienant to use IE 7 then it is to use Avant or Firefox will total control over the things I WANT!!! buttons , folders and toolbar icons as well as TAB's how are you going to share TAB space with other icons for TABS" and not have the abilty TO DROP TABS DOWN TO BOTTOM!!! Or to set up icon address bar or any other ICON!!! LIKE FIREFOX eg. AVANT!!!
SAFTEY , SECURITY , OPEN CODES GEEK STUFF I'NT THE WHOLE 9 YARDS
IT HAS TO SUIT THE USER!!! ANF THEY HAVE TO BE COMFORTABLE AND HAS TO CONVIENANT WITH USING IT!!!
............And further more ..I only asked if user can use IE-6 on Vista or those that upgrade to Vista will they be commited

1.) In regards to my first post if you put the right div above the content and click you can make most of the page disappear. I forgot to add that to my post.
2.) To people like Omar A. Perez who are posting bugs on pages that contain errors in the code (58) please...
A.) Grow up or delete this favorite/bookmark
B.) If you're going to post then do so in regards to actual standards (and not poorly written pages).
I don't imagine replying to posts on the IE Blog can be the highlight of any of the IE team member's day (maybe an understatement). So an honest question: who decides when IE becomes a priority and when it does not? I am of course omitting any curiosity to the why aspect.Anonymous

Steve,
Yes we read the feedback and the correct place to report bugs is through connect http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/support/default.mspx. The gamma support issue is known and was never targetted for the IE7 release. As I said we are looking at this for a future release.
To examine the transparency issue you refer to we need to have a repro case. While I can search as effectively as you can if you supply full details and a repro case then we can be certain we are seeing the same issue as you are. The best bug reports include full steps to reproduce the issue along with both expected and actual results. Without that it is difficult to be certain we are looking at the same issue.
There is an excellent older blog post covering the transparent PNG work at http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/04/26/412263.aspx

Hi there,
We've discovered that when submitting text through XMLHttpRequest, both IE6 and IE7 garble the Unicode characters. Here's a good test page:
<http://www.tapor.uvic.ca/cocoon/scancan/authors.htm>
Click on "Bio" next to the first author, and you'll see the right text is found because the id submitted is ascii. However, if you click on the Bio button for Jääskeläinen, Michael, you'll see that nothing is retrieved because in this case the id is jääskeläinen_michael. The page works fine in Firefox, Moz, Konqueror, Safari, Opera and Camino. Tests have shown that the umlaut a's (along with other accented characters, phonetic characters etc.) are not submitted in correct UTF-8 encoding to the server.
If you care about this, I have other more detailed demonstrations of this bug that I can send you. Even in IE7 using the new XMLHttpRequest, the same problem exists. I've tried every permutation I can think of to enforce the UTF-8 encoding, but nothing works. IE seems to be broken completely in this respect. All other browsers work, and we're now having to build all our projects that use Unicode and AJAX with notices to the effect that IE cannot be used to access them.
Please look into this and give me some hope that it might be fixed. I'm very happy to work with you to clarify test cases and test workarounds.

Is it a feature, or a bug that most of the navigation features only work in internet explorer, and not in firefox/mozilla.
I know this is a general problem with msnd.com. Try to navigate the documentation for the win32 using a non-internet explorer browser, and you really got the urge to screem. (And win32 development is diffucult enough as is, there is no need to make the documentation almost imposible to navigate).

You can install Linux if you want. No one is forcing you. You are acting as though IE causes you physical pain. Get over the childish attitude and at least be constructive.
Install Firefox/Opera/whichever and only use IE for updates. This is how most people do it. Without the ridiculous complaining/CapsLock spam.

Aedrin, actually physical pain is nothing compared to mental intranquility is nothing, I can check fine some pages, that I need to check, I already started installed linux (gentoo) as secondary System in all the offices and already told everybody that we might be using gentoo as primary Os and OpenOffice as main office suite.
So they have to learn it. In my newest and smaller business which sells pc pieces and also built pc and intall windows, I started to remove all the windows promos, except those from Nvidia / ATI / INTEL / AMD as main image. I also started to promote linux as a free alternative for the people that get their PC for first time with us. At the same time asked distributors to send me more Linux Compatible Software.
So in other words we might be switching from windows to linux in general. Peace...Anonymous

I am wondering where I can gather information on which HTML tags are supported in IE7. Do you conform to the XHTML 1.0 or HTML 4.01 standards?
I'm specifically looking at the CENTER tag. Is it supported?
NateAnonymous
September 06, 2006
Hi Nate,
The reference material on MSDN shows which elements are supported by IE http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/html/reference/elements.asp
XHTML is not supported by IE beyond the fact that well formed HTML is supported. This is something that will be examined for a future release of IE. In IE7 there have been some improvements with HTML4.01 support with the addition of the ABBR element and improved object fallback.
The CENTER tag is supported see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/center.asp but as noted on that reference page it is a deprecated element and CSS should be used to style content.
Thanks

Thanks for your quick response. I was wondering where on those pages I find that it is supported in a browser (IE7, or earlier). For CENTER it is fairly obvious (all browsers) but what about ABBR, you said it's available in IE7, but I assume, not IE6 (haven't tried) Where do I find this information out ?
Also I am strongly in favour of web standards. I know that you want your browser to be backwards compatable for people who don't know about web standards or sites that haven't been updated in several years.
But do you know when a tag like CENTER will be dropped from support? IE8 possibly?

September 06, 2006
DMassy: I hope you are not referring to syntax like <meta /> as 'well formed HTML' because it is exactly the opposite. XHTML-syntax in an HTML document (mind you: it's in the mimetype, not in the doctype) is mallformed HTML, and if 'error-correction' is a synonym for 'support of XHTML-syntax' than it is no wonder that IE is still not fully standards-compliant, even when it comes to HTML4.01... (since when is <table> allowed in <p>?)Anonymous
September 06, 2006
Nate,
As you have spotted we are currently missing the information on the reference pages for which version of IE supports particular elements. I'm hoping we can get that information back into the ref pages soon. we also want to improve the documetnation to discourage the use of deprecated elements.
We have no plans to remove supprt for elements such as CENTER as there is web content that relies on this.
Tino,
As I said IE does not support XHTML at the current time and I certainly did not mean to imply that it did. I apologise if you got that impression. XHTML support is as I said something for a future version of IE.
Others,
Please keep the debate here respectful.

Mr Massy,
A lot of us are genuine web standards oriented people and we have constructively collaborated/cooperated during at least the last 24 months to the best of our abilities to report CSS bugs, wrong/incorrect implementations, etc.. Here are just a few of them:
Peter-Paul Koch ,
Holly Bergevin and John Gallant ,
David Hammond ,
incutio.com people,
projectseven.com people,
Bruno Fassino ,
Robin Lionheart ,
Aleksandar Vacić ,
Marc Pacheco ,
Emmett the Sane ,
Patrick Fitzgerald ,
Robert Blaut ,
Tino Zijdel ,
John A. Bilicki III
and myself
(and I'm not even mentioning web standards advocacy groups here)
with real, solid, accessible testcases demonstrating CSS bugs (and HTML 4.01 bugs, DOM bugs, javascript bugs, security bugs, etc.)
2 questions for you now.
1- Is there a real commitment from Microsoft to make every new webpage, every updated webpage at microsoft.com
a) to use a strict doctype to trigger standards compliant rendering mode
b) to pass markup validation test against a strict DTD
c) to pass CSS validation test
2- When is the next release of MSIE 7.x planned? I'm not talking of MSIE 7.0 final release here; I'm talking about the release of, say, MSIE 7.1 here. Most of us know that Microsoft wants to update its IE browser on a more regular basis/frequency but it could still be as much as 2 years between updates, minor versions.
As soon as June 17th 2004 Microsoft said "IE team is listening" and on July 23rd 2004, it got "hundreds of web authors overwhelmingly wanted Microsoft to address the issues of conformance and correctness of web standards implementation in its IE 6 browser"
http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2004/07/23/193120.aspx
So, it is perfectly normal and reasonable to expect Microsoft to fix the hundreds of known, documented, demo-cased, reproducible bugs that still has lingered on and on over the last 10 years - yes, 10 years - and which will still be in MSIE 7.0.
Gérard TalbotAnonymous
September 06, 2006
Hi Gerard,
1 - The webpages that make up microsoft.com are outside the direct control of the Internet Explorer team. We can and will ask the teams responsible to use the strict doctype and pass validation tests.
2 - We are currently planning the next releases of Internet Explorer. We are unlikely to discuss particular dates and features until we are further along with the project. We certainly intend to be alot more frequent and regular with releases than the gap between IE6 and IE7 :) We fully expect and plan that future releases will continue the work started in IE7 to improve on support for CSS and other recommendations.
We really appreciate the different tests and bug reports that have been made by the community over the past few years. We looked at many of these and worked with the Web Standards project to help us prioritise the work we have undertaken in IE7. We expect to continue to use such tests and bug reports from the community to help us prioritise the work in future releases.
Thanks

No, it's not an answer. On that page many features of IE are described, but NONE of these features can count as an advantage in comparsion with other browsers.
I didn't ask about what IE features are. I asked only for something where IE beats its competitors. A very common question about any new product on the market.Anonymous
September 07, 2006
rc,
The link I referred you to goes through a number of enhancements to IE many of which we consider to be an advantage over competing browsers. That list would include the simplified UI, printing improvements, RSS platform support, quicktabs, security work such as antiphishing, SSL UI and protected mode on Windows Vista amongst other things. As we have said many many times before we know there is more work to do particularly around CSS and DOM support in the platform and the team is excited by the challenge of doing that.
I think the link I referred you to explains this quite well.

I think that's where you're tripping up. MS executive DO say things like that. Somewhere along the tune of "We need to get this out the door. It needs X amount of time to test. We figure with this amount of staffing, you'll be doing A,B,C,D features. Also, don't worry about bugs Q,R,S,T,U,V,W because that might make things unstable."
