Congratulations Molly - your entrance into this team is the first time I've actually felt comforted by the future of Internet Explorer. You have exceptional talent, I hope to seem IE hold themselves to that standard in the future with your support!

Quote, To provide resources to Web designers and developers (including internal developers at Microsoft) as they work toward a more standards-oriented goal - no matter which tools and technologies are being used. To achieve this, our group will be publishing educational material for designers and developers[...], End Quote.

When can a central repository of Internet Explorer 7.0 issues be expected?

For example, some of the issues in implementation of the CSS proprietary zoom property. That property appears to have some tremendous potential.

Getting trapped in the Microsoft telephone queue from hell for over 3 hours to get nowhere in getting a few direct development questions answered regarding the same is agitating at the least.

Then being left to some damn blog post that will never get answered ...

Until such concrete resources get "published", it remains "all hat and no cattle."

Sincerely,

hAl, there's no requirement to use GPL with gecko. Quoth mozilla.org;

Otherwise your points are valid.

That it requires the software to use the GPL licensing for instance. That license gives all kinds of obligations that MS might not want for it's software.

Also as a company leading in producing commercial software it isn't a good idea to let your software be to dependant on third party softwaredevelopment.

I hope you can help fix IE's standards support.

Perhaps it would be easier if you used the Gecko rendering engine?? What's the point in working on Trident when there's a perfectly good rendering engine that's open source?
