I just made a post on the IE Team blog regarding Zones and Mark of The Web . It's always a good idea to test with default settings and run pages in the internet zone if that is where they will be deployed so that you experience what users will experience.

I'm going to start making occasional posts when I find a website that is doing something particularly bizarre although I won't name the specific websites in question. Yesterday I decided to send some feedback to a local radio station about the lack of

As you can see from the post on the IE team blog IE7 is headed for final release shortly. It's fun reading some of the comments on the team blog. Clearly some people didn't actually bother to read the post or follow the links to the resources for more

UPDATE! 2/24/05 8:58AM PST Some comments reflect the fact that my post below can be misunderstood. I'd like to clarify. IE is an essential part of the Windows Operating system. Nothing I say in my post below is meant to imply otherwise. In the sentence

I'm curious to see the industry attention about something called Ajax lately. Mary Jo Foley writes about it at http://www.microsoft-watch.com/article2/0,1995,1777009,00.asp?kc=MWRSS02129TX1K0000535 and many people are talking about it. It's exciting to

I can't seem to log into Neowin to leave a comment on yesterday's interview but there was one post from FloatingFatMan that I wanted to comment on: I'd personally HATE to be on the IE dev team, cause you know that no matter what you do, a sizable portion

I just posted about the Internet Explorer focus on backwards compatibility over on the IE team blog http://weblogs.asp.net/ie/archive/2004/10/15/243074.aspx There's plenty of bad HTML on the web today, and by that I mean a lack of closing tags, overlapping

Two quick notes on spelling. Did you know there's a great spell check tool for IE at http://www.iespell.com/ ? This is very useful when your spelling and typing is a little like mine. Coming from the United Kingdom I often argue with spell checkers about

We get a lot (and I do mean a lot) of complaints about the lack of alpha channel support for PNG in Internet Explorer. Quite right too! This is an optional part of the PNG specification but it is the part that actually makes PNG more useful that other

In my last post I stated something about how I wouldn't be comfortable using another browser. This seemed to get a few responses and Shannon J Hager asked me to explain myself. So I will try. One of the challenges with blogging or any communication purely
