IE7 beta版的一些新消息
IE7 beta 1 – A few details…
公元2005年4月22日，IE7开发小组的成员在其Blog上透露了一些新的消息：
- IE7将支持带有alpha通道的PNG图片，也就是我们常说的半透明PNG（做阴影不用像现在这么麻烦了）。
- 解决CSS Bug，如著名的Peekaboo Bug和Guillotine Bug。虽然他没有说对CSS2全面支持一类的话，但这总是一个好的方向。
- IE7 beta版将在今年夏天发布。
我估计IE7在核心部分可能也就到Firefox的水平，比如对PNG和对CSS更好的支持，毕竟Firefox事实上是NN7级别的（Opera的版本号甚至已经到8了……）。如果IE7对W3标准的支持能与FF拉平，那我们要做的就是期待，然后等上三五年让IE6被淘汰……
原文如下：
We’ve heard some great feedback on what web developers would like to see in IE7, both from the responses to my last post and from the resources I referred to.? The rest of the team was cranking away while I was away on parental leave, and I wanted to share a few details about what they were doing: The first couple of things they’ve done are:
- Support the alpha channel in PNG images. We’ve actually had this on our radar for a long time, and have had it supported in the code for a while now.?We have certainly heard the clear feedback from the web design community that per-pixel alpha is a really important feature.
?? - Address CSS consistency problems. Our first and most important goal with our Cascading Style Sheet support is to remove the major inconsistencies so that web developers have a consistent set of functionality on which they can rely.? For example, we have already checked in the fixes to the peekaboo and guillotine bugs documented at positioniseverything.net so use of floated elements become more consistent.?
We’re doing a lot more than this in IE7, of course, and we’re really excited that the beta release is almost here - we’re looking forward to the feedback when we release the first beta of IE7 this summer. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to beta.
