I’ve had a little time to sit infront of the current IE7 preview and while I can say I’m happy that nothing drastic is broken I’m still a bit dissappointed in the state of its CSS support.
- :before/:after not being supported
- min-width, max-width, and related height values not supported (yet?)
- the inherit and transparent unit value still missing
- still some oddities in its vertical line box
That said, I’ve got to keep telling myself that is only a preview and that they’re still working on things. Eric does a good job at telling me not to panic as well.
For more make sure you check out:
- the css-discuss wiki page on IE7 which is being updated frequently with test results and informative links
- The official IEBlog is putting out a ton of information—like this post covering what’s new for CSS in Beta 2 Preview?. Make sure to read the comments as lots of informative tidbits have been coming from MSFT staff responding to other commenters.
