Frequently Asked Questions for the IE7 Beta 2 Preview

"Our installer for the preview used WGA and this cannot be bypassed."

The WGA did not work for me - message: technical problems - but I was able to install IE7. (I use an original OEM version of XP delivered with my notebook.)

If I uninstall the preview do I have to install IE6 again?

If you uninstall the preview, it reverts you back to your pre-preview state.

So we can't run it at the same time with IE6. That's excellent! I'm with you all the way there. I think we should ditch IE6 and all other previous versions and only look forward. If someone visits a site using IE6 then let's just hope it turns out okay, right? Right on, IE team.

Who says we should test sites in all other browsers? I know I certainly don't need to now that Firefox--I mean Maxthon--I mean IE7 is here. Wait, I know a big client of mine that is hestitant to upgrade and took forever to switch to IE6. I don't mind forking over $130 for Virtual PC and watching my productivity slow to a crawl switching back and forth for testing. The client pays the bills, right? Right on, IE team.

You folks did a fantastic job making us choose between IE7 or IE6 but not both. We all know IE6 is trash anyway. Great job building that so tightly into the OS making future standalone versions impossible. Way to plan that one out! Right on, IE team.

Right on.

You say you can't do it. Find a way. For just once, please make developers' lives easier instead of making us use the hacks and methods that you guys make so necessary.

Warmest regards,
Seth

I don't understand why IE can't just be standards compliant. I'm so sick of doing hacks for IE, and I'm not happy I'm going to have to retrofit my existing sites to remove, say, the Holly hack.

If you're improving css, why not fix it ALL?

Seth,

You could not run IE6 side by side with IE5.5, IE5, or IE5. This is not a change. IE versions are full system upgrades.

Bobby G.,

We've written about the Acid2 test before. It is not a compliance test but is, instead, a wish list. We've been clear that we were not going to pass this test since we were first asked about this. The author of the test is well aware of this.

"You could not run IE6 side by side with IE5.5, IE5, or IE5. This is not a change. IE versions are full system upgrades."

But the change in browser behaviour and page rendering from IE6 to IE7 is so big that it should warrant a possibility for the devs to test their pages on both browsers for compatibility.

The fact that most css-hacks will no work in IE7, will require web devs to either write pages for IE7-only or make sites that work on both IE7 and IE6. The latter option will require testing in BOTH browsers.

I'd imagine web devs will still need to program pages so they work for earlier versions of IE for quite a while. Big companies are not going to jump into IE7 the day it's released.

Mark — Wed, 01 Feb 2006 11:22:14 GMT

No way. Forget it. If there is no way to run IE7 Beta AND the existing bodgy IE6, we will certainly be putting a "Do NOT use IE7 on our website ... go use an open source alternative" notice on the front web page. We have no way we can buy that many machines to test our systems in two versions. We'd be happy to encourage this long overdue revision, but what a shame MS can't build a standalone. Perhaps it's a deliberate strategy, and maybe that will work on the general population, but for now, just watch the "No IE7 support on this site" banners appear.
What a pity the opportunity has been lost.

There is weird bug, within the installer procedures.
The case is this -
While i was trying to uninstal, the Beta 1 build which i was using, until now - the IE Beta 1 selection, is removing itself ok, from the Add/Remove window, but stil nothing happens - beta 1 i still there, and i can't install Beta 2.
Guess the problem is comming from me, not closing the active windows of IE 7 Beta 1, and then perhaps the uninstal procedure for IE7 Beta 1 is failing somehow ..

One of my coleagues already, installed the Beta 2 - it is great :)) Keep up the good work

So about my problem ? Any suggestions guys ??

Strange superstition

rch — Wed, 01 Feb 2006 13:00:58 GMT

I cannot understand the obstinacy of IE developers who maniacally claim that “IE7 will not work side-by-side with IE6! Never! No way! Don’t even try!”
Many years Web developers DO use “hacks” to run several IE simultaneosly, and they soon WILL use another “hacks” to run IE7 alongside with previous versions. We make sure that it’s EASY to run various versions of IE under one system. And since it’s really easy, I wonder why IE developers try to convince that it’s nearly a crime. It’s a strange superstition.

Very helpful list!

The many people with a CRT monitor have the problem that the fonts in IE and OE now look fuzzy, because ClearType is on by default in the preview.

Perhaps you could add a tip how to turn off ClearType in the Preview.
(Unfortunately, Outlook Express then still uses ClearType).

Thank you,

"You could not run IE6 side by side with IE5.5, IE5, or IE5. This is not a change. IE versions are full system upgrades."

Al, how is this a valid response? Not being able to run IE6 with IE5.x prove my point even more. You can't install them side by side but you sure can run them. This site allows us to do that:

http://downloads.skyzyx.com/index.php?fpp=20&did=8

If this guy can create a quick workaround, why can't Microsoft? Sure, it's ugly but it allows developers to do our jobs. Imagine how much happier developers would be if you created a standalone version? Do you honestly think that having Virtual PC or multiple computers just for testing is productive compared to being able to run multiple versions on the same machine?

I'm saying that you SHOULDN'T make IE "full system upgrades." This only makes our jobs difficult. You say you're listening to us but you continue to ignore one of the biggest issues.

By using this technique for Beta1

http://weblogs.asp.net/jgalloway/archive/2005/12/28/434132.aspx

I've managed to get IE7B2 running side by side with IE6, with one (major!) caveat:

IE7 works fine the first time I launch it with that batch file, and IE6 works afterwards, but if I try and then launch IE7 a 2nd time it closes immediately...

I'm not expecting any help from MS on this subject, but I'm sure one of you developers will know what's going wrong!

<<If this guy can create a quick workaround, why can't Microsoft? >>

The problem is that his workaround doesn't really work. Doing this type of hack creates a Frankenstein-browser that uses bits of both the IE7 Beta 2 Preview and the legacy IE6 browser. All sorts of COM-gnarliness ensues, and bugs abound. Prove it to yourself by watching what DLLs are loaded using something like Process Explorer from SysInternals.com.

No one is claiming that it's a "crime" to try to run these side-by-side, but please save everyone some confusion and do not report any bugs that occur in this configuration. It is not supported for good reasons.

Thanks for your interest!

I agree with Jan above. The feeds in IE7 do not update automatically when they're clicked on. I discovered I had to right-click on Refresh for a particular feed, and then click on the feed again before I got a current listing. Bad, bad, bad. Please fix.

When in uninstall the IE7 Beta 2 Preview from Add/Remove Programs, click update and select IE7, will IE6 be completely restored to the point in time before the Beta code was installed?
Will all my Internet Explorer Security Updates and Hotfixes still be joined at the hip with IE6? I'm worried that if i try to update Windows this month in the monthly updates, and if it has an IE6 update, that it will fail (obviously) because i have the Preview Code.

"We've written about the Acid2 test before. It is not a compliance test but is, instead, a wish list. We've been clear that we were not going to pass this test since we were first asked about this. The author of the test is well aware of this."

Fact is that this wishlist is where you should be at. Unless it renders properly on the acid tests, you broke it. Pure and simple. IE7, like others before it, is broken. You've taken steps to fix it, and you've spent an awful lot of time on the GUI - but that was never the problem. Trident is the problem. It isn't a subjective issue, like Windows XP vs. Mac OS X, this is an issue that can be tested and proven, and the fact is that you're miles behind.

I don't expect an answer from you, because I know you don't answer the tough questions, but why the hell can you not fix these problems? You must be aware of them.

If you think Firefox's rising market share is going to be sullied by your releasing a new version of a browser that still uses a grotesquely out of date rendering engine, then you're mistaken. I'm really, really angry with this release. You've actually delivered so little. Great job.

Yes and thank you for your lack of interest there. I never said it was a crime and I wasn't reporting any bugs. I simply said that the IE team should make it possible because these "Frankenstein-browsers" are what we have to resort to using to get our jobs done. Wouldn't you want us using something reliable insead of ad-hoc solutions? I know I would.

Push the envelope here and amaze us by creating stand-alone versions of IE including IE7. It's what we want.

re: Frequently Asked Questions for the IE7 Beta 2 Preview

Damon — Wed, 01 Feb 2006 17:47:18 GMT

Seth, have you thought about those of us who make use of the IE html engine but in an application rather than the browser? You want side-by-side just so you can open iexplore.exe 6.0 vs 7.0. I don't do that, because I have html applications that are not run in a browser. How exactly does "side-by-side" here work for me? This is not the .Net framework; there's no concept of side-by-side binaries for DLLs that are named the same. Even if they were named differently, the html app is expecting to use classes that are named the same. Without overwriting the binaries, there's no way to distinguish between the two. If you used the underlying engine for Safari or Mozilla (not the browser itself) to create HTML apps, you'd run into exactly the same problem. Not everyone works in the browser only; the system is designed to be more flexible (and less, at the same time) than that.

Ok, this is *really* starting to "bug me".
(read: lots of swear words removed, in hope that you will actually read this, instead of delete it.)

Hundreds of requests for a public bug tracking system have gone unanswered. Take a stand! and post it!

*MICROSOFT* does require a public bug tracking system for IE7, and I'm about to explain why.

1.) Dozen's of duplicate bugs are being submitted, because *WE* can't search for them before submitting.

2.) *WE* have no way of *CONFIRMING* if a bug has been *duplicated/confirmed* by Microsoft.

3.) *WE* have no way to search for *RELATED* bugs, or *DEPENDENCIES* for each bug.

4.) *WE* have no way to submit *PRIVATE* security hole related bugs (wait for it!), *WITH* a communication confirmation/trail.

5.) *WE* have no way to determine if a bug status is "WON'T GET FIXED", "WILL GET FIXED, in a future PATCH", "BEFORE PUBLIC RELEASE", "TARGET: IE7.5" etc. No offence on this one, but there is no way I am going to develop web app widgets/gadgets etc. for IE7, if I don't have any clue as to when support might be there, I'm not going to waste my time. If I can see, that it is flagged as a "Confirmed - Target: Before IE7 Public Release", or "Target IE7.5" then fine, I'll commit to stubbing it in, but until then, why would I waste time on something that might end up a "WONT FIX"?!?!?

I will not waste any more of my time, attempting to debug your browser, unless you make the process worthwhile.

There's a reason why open source projects are so darn hot these days. They listen to the end users, and invite them to participate.

If we used the Acid2 test as a benchmark for releasing browsers, us Windows users would have no browser to use. There is no Windows browser that meets Acid2.

I've uncovered a few things:
* padding no longer adds to the width of a box when position is set to absolute. Example, a div with position:absolute;width:300px;padding:10px; will render smaller than a container with position:relative;width:300px;padding:10px;
* min-height, max-height, min-width, and max-width still don't appear to be supported
* :hover seems to be in but :focus is not.

Some call Acid2 a "wishlist" and others call it a "compliance test for CSS web standards." By simply writing Acid2 off completely as a silly wishlist, IE7's goal is obviously to be nothing short of mediocre. Let's try to get inpired here people...

Why cant you match the likes of Firefox? Stop worrying about the looks of the browser and focus on standards support, not Microsoft standards, they totally suk. Im back to Firefox.

Anyone calling Acid 2 a "compliance test for CSS web standards." doesn't understand what Acid 2 is, what a compliance test is, or both.

It's no such thing. Passing Acid 2 doesn't mean you're CSS2 compliant, and you can fail Acid 2 and be 100% compliant (because Acid 2 includes invalid CSS which the standard doesn't define how to handle it), though nobody is.

At best, Acid 2 is a "This is how these specific test should be handled". Ie, a wishlist. An attempt to standardize behavior.

That's not to say that this is bad, just please don't pretend that Acid 2 is any kind of "conformance test". It's not.

I'd like to see an apology from Microsoft for releasing a cruddy product (IE6) in addition to the call for us to fix our 'hacks'. Let's not forget that it was this product's lack of support for standards which made these 'hacks' neccessary in the first place. Ironically most of the 'hacks' exploit IE's lack of std's support.

How many hours of productivity have been lost to IE6?

Actually, I think we do answer the hard questions, and you just don't want to listen. The Acid 2 Test is not where we have placed our priorities for IE7 - we've placed our priorities on fixing the biggest bugs that cause pain to web developers in the real world. In my opinion, given where we started, we've made tremendous progress.

In the advanced prefs, the radio buttons for "searching" via the address field have no default setting. Also, once a radio button is selected, the only way to go back is to reset all your settings. If one of the choices is the default setting, this is not obvious and should be. You also might have considered copying Opera on their highly useful address field feature set. Instead of forcing a search which is surprising to most users, instead navigate the user by adding ".com" as well as the protocol prefix. Navigate is what the user wants to do when they edit the address field wouldn't you think? A search feature in the address bar is incredibly silly when there are plenty of search features readily available throughout.

If you are a real developer, you should not ever rely on non-standard systems (hacks, etc) for your testing. Disk space is super cheap. One old hard disk can dual boot several complete test systems for a true test. And clean systems boot fast, so chill out and stretch for one minute or two while rebooting.

Or, simply keep bitching, and the other developers will eat your lunch.

To "Yet another web developer:" You claim that "*WE* have no way to submit *PRIVATE* security hole related bugs (wait for it!), *WITH* a communication confirmation/trail."

Yes you do, and you have for about 4 years. Send email to secure@microsoft.com with a known private security issue and it will be handled, and you'll be kept in the loop. I work closely with the folks who receive those emails and guarantee that legitimate communications are handled appropriately.

I'm also a little confused as to why you're upset that we've provided several different methods for people to report problems to us. In the past this has been called 'flexibility.'

Two things that worked really well for me when using tabs via MSN's tool bars that I found to be missing in IE7's tabs.

First, I can't seem to get my Favorite tabs to appear in the order I have them sorted. When a set of tabs are automatically opened via Favorites, they are in alphabetical order.

Second, when a new tab is opened from the current tab, I like it how MSN's tabs opens the new tab immediately after the current tab and not place it at the end of all tabs.

Thanks.

re: Frequently Asked Questions for the IE7 Beta 2 Preview

Jon — Wed, 01 Feb 2006 21:08:02 GMT

I enjoy the open communication you have with developers so far. Your responses are most helpful. Keep it up!

Simple Suggestions:
1. Give the user the ability to reorder the tabs via dragging it into place.
2. Double click a tab to close, instead of searching for the "x".
3. Allow an option for a new tab to be created and have focus when entering in a new URL into the address bar.

Wish List:
1. Standards compliancy closer to the current open source alternatives. (I know... I know... I've read the previous responses from MS.) However, any improvement in this area is a step in the right direction for IE.
2. Developer tools (similar to the tools currently available for IE 6)

Thanks again, keep up the good work!

@Fye R. Fox,

> Some call Acid2 a "wishlist" and others call it a "compliance test for CSS web standards." By simply writing Acid2 off completely as a silly wishlist, IE7's goal is obviously to be nothing short of mediocre. Let's try to get inpired here people... You can pass it if you actually "try" to make an effort.

It's a bit hypocritical for somebody calling themselves "Fye R. Fox" to say that, isn't it? Firefox is a long way away from passing the Acid2 test itself.

It's not a compliance test. It's not a wishlist per se. It's a document that combines a series of testcases. These testcases cover more than just HTML and CSS, for example data: URIs. Some of the features covered can legitimately be called "wish list" items. Some are more important.

@mystere,

> Passing Acid 2 doesn't mean you're CSS2 compliant, and you can fail Acid 2 and be 100% compliant

Correct.

> because Acid 2 includes invalid CSS which the standard doesn't define how to handle it

Incorrect.

You can fail Acid2 and be 100% CSS 2 compliant because Acid2 tests more than just CSS.

Acid2 includes invalid CSS *because* the specification defines how to handle it. The specification defines error handling, and the only way to test compliance with this part of the specification is to include errors.

Let me repeat that: not only is the invalid code intentional, it's absolutely necessary. It tests CSS 2 compliance more thoroughly. If a browser gets the invalid code wrong, then it isn't CSS 2 compliant, because it's not following the defined error handling. Here is that part of the CSS 2 specification:

I'm hoping tab re-arrangement via drag and drop will be implemented before final release.

As well, "Sort by Name" needs to be in the context menu when showing favourites via the favourites icon.

Mouse gestures need to be added. But I'm sure that would conflict with MS's mouse department. Heaven forbid us people who just want two buttons on their mouse need to be catered to...

Can't say I'm too impressed with the Beta. It's cluttered, I'm not keen on how there's icons spread left, right and on two different rows. I have to move my mouse everywhere to do anything other than go back/forward.

Not too impressed with most of the comments here either. It's just the usual I-hate-MS junk. Oh well.

It's gotten to the point where I'm just going to write my own damned browser. I hate both IE and Firefox (FF has just as many hopeless bugs as IE6 does in terms of HTML/CSS rendering).

Jon, I disagree about double-clicking tabs. many users are so trained to double click anything in Windows, this would cause problems. They don't know when they should single click or double click. It's VERY poor practice to make double clicks do something "destructive" when a single click wouldn't.

Actually, Windows XP introduced an infrastructure for side-by-side components (WinSXS). It is used by such components as the Common Controls, GDI+, and WinHTTP. I and several others have posted comments on this blog suggesting that the IE components be moved to this type of side-by-side model. However, the integration between the various IE components may just be to tight for this kind of side-by-side model.

In the comments to another posting, Chris Wilson indicated that Microsoft is possibly investigating some way of at least supporting multiple versions of the rendering engine (MSHTML) side-by-side. This sounds promising, and hopefully it will come to be.

I'm interested as well, on what changes there are between writing extensions for previous IE versions and IE7. I'm assuming that existing Explorer Bands and Comm Bands (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/Shell/programmersguide/shell_adv/bands.asp) will continue to work in IE7, but I'd guess that they won't be within the Favorites Center panel but will be a separate pane, and tab-specific. Will there be a new method of creating bars that can plug into the Favorites Center?

All I can say is congratulations to the IE team! IE6 has become a running joke, but IE7 has managed to prise me away from my precious Firefox for an afternoon. With the exception of the disappearing toolbar, the interface is nice too - although it looks like it was 'inspired' by Flock.

The feed reading is my favourite feature so far - all we need now is for transparent PNGs to work properly (seriously, how hard is it to do?) and other such stuff that will no doubt be fixed before the actual release.

@DP: "text becoming a link, when this is not specified..."

This is caused by invalid CSS hacks that no longer work in IE7.

@Jon: " Double click a tab to close, instead of searching for the "x"."

Simply middle-click. Many many users inadvertently double-click things.

@forgetfoo: "what are the chances of IE7 having a nice script debugger"

See http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2004/10/26/247912.aspx

@Eber:
IE has a handful of project managers (managing different aspects of the entire project) and many program managers (each of whom manages one or more features). See http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2004/08/17/216075.aspx for more info.

@PatriotB: You are correct; legacy extensibility points are still active, but we haven't really introduced new ones for IE7, as the old ones remain very powerful. Yes, these are per-tab, and open their own UI. For IE7, you cannot plug into the Favorites Center UI directly.

re: Frequently Asked Questions for the IE7 Beta 2 Preview

I'm Just Sayin .... hope you're listenin' — Wed, 01 Feb 2006 23:59:43 GMT

Several years ago, it was fairly standard practice to "code for IE, and hack for the others". Now, that paradigm has reversed itself, and most COMPETENT developers are coding to standards and hacking for compatibility. This means your code usually just works in most browsers, and then you have to hack it up for IE compatibility.

See, the problem with Microsoft's strategy is that they left IE6 as 'abandonware' for too long. In the interim, the alternative browsers started introducing new and interesting features, piquing the interest of the Internet Browsing Public, and gaining market-share.

Additionally, Mac users are on the rise, as is desktop linux ... neither of which have a version of IE to run. (Ok, the Mac has the now-abandoned IE 5.2 which was always terrible, and Linux users can run IE under Wine, but that's the long way around. I guess Mac users could too, but why would they want to) So, it's getting to the point now where if a developer is writing code for IE only, he does so at his own peril.

Now, IE7 has "fixed" their CSS support so that it essentially disables most of the CSS hacks developers were using to get around IE's poor implementation, but yet they seem to have failed to have fixed the CSS implementation flaws that the hacks were devised to deal with in the first place. The end result is that stuff that ONCE looked ok in IE, now breaks. I saw many examples of this in the hour or two that I spent browsing with IE7 yesterday.

My prediction on this IE7 release (when it comes out of beta) is that it may very well fall flat on its face. Users are going to install it, and start browsing websites, and finding sites that USED to look great suddenly look broken. They won't care what the reasons are, but they'll definitely associate it with thier newly installed IE7.

Now, lets look at it from the perspective of a website owner (not a developer, but perhaps a CPA with a website). Suddenly his website is going to look crappy in IE7 ... what's he going to do? Call the developer who is going to say, "The website is coded to standards, displays fine in all current browsers and all versions of IE prior to 7. I'll fix the problem, but it's going to cost you!"

End result? Lots of websites will continue to look broken in IE, and continue to display correctly in other browsers. MicroSoft made a HUGE mistake in thier complacency, and I think IE7 ... unless they make some major rendering changes before the final release, will turn out to be another nudge that's going to help them fall of the top of the heap in the browser market.

I have a question. In spite of the fact that you could, in all likelyhood, nominate the person who came up with the "start navigation" click noise in IE as one of the 10 most evil people of all time, and unquestionably nominate him as more annoying then that baby 2 rows back in the airplane who cried for 6 hours straight, the "click" noise continues to be a default part of the IE install.

The first thing I (and every person I know of) does when they install windows is turn off that freaking CLICK. Every time I install IE, that damn click noise is back.

Enough already. If it is off, leave it off. I don't want it, no one wants it. The guy who invented it? He turned it off too I'll bet. The IE team? I'll bet they ALL have it turned off. If MS didn't turn it off, the "click"-ing noise alone would make redmond the center of a constant 1.0 earthquake on local sensors.

You don't use it, we all find it annoying, GET RID OF CLICK.

Here, maybe this can put it into perspective for you.

Secondly, the zoom tool button at the bottom right of the screen. Is it supposed to change the text size, or the entire window? If it is the former, then why do you have that button as well as the change text setting under the Page menu?

If you want to do that, that's fine. You can also deal with people like myself who will then close your website and never return. If losing business fits into your model, then more power to you.

I'm a web developer, and have been reading the IEBlog for months.

In regards to IE7, I am scared... very...very...scared.

Break the hacks but don't fix the browser? <shudder>...

Didn't plan to allow for stand-alones (at least of rendering, even unsupported?) <double shudder>

Despite this astro-turf-blog attempt, MS attitude, disrespect and lack of intelligent initiative still shine through.

The best thing that MS can do with IE is make it an *optional* download. That way people with IE6 will be able to use sites that have been hacked to work. And people that want to upgrade will have the sense to download Firefox.

EricLaw [MSFT]: "This is caused by invalid CSS hacks that no longer work in IE7."

There is something in the tone of this statement that just feels bad. All of a sudden MS is dismissive of "invalid CSS hacks" and gets all pious on us? Do us all a favour...

If you don't fix all the bugs, don't fix any of the hacks...

In closing I'll paraphrase something I read somewhere else.

After spending a few hours with IE7, here are some of the CSS elements I couldn't get to work:

Declarations:

display (for table, table-row, etc)
content
quotes

Selectors:
exact attribute (at least on TR, TD)

Pseudo Classes:
:before
:after
:first-line
:focus

Will these be fixed before release? It would be a shame if Microsoft's browser failed to meet an 8-year-old standard.

Chris Wilson:

Well, thanks for responding, but if you want to answer a tough question: How come Trident is so far behind in terms of CSS support? The biggest thing the community asked for was for you to sort out the CSS this time around. So who isn't listening? Fixing the hacks isn't the same as fixing the rendering engine.

re: Frequently Asked Questions for the IE7 Beta 2 Preview

Peter Gasston — Thu, 02 Feb 2006 15:38:56 GMT

In addition to my earlier post, I forgot to include:

Declarations:
max-height
max-width
min-height
min-width

If none of these will be fixed before release, that's going to be very disappointing.

@Peter Glasston:
We do not [even claim to] support 'outline', the various table 'display' types, 'content' or
'quotes', nor the :before/:after pseudoelements or :focus/:lang pseudoclasses (actually, IIRC, :focus does work on form controls).

I would be interested in a repro case for the selector problem you mention, and for the :first-line issue - please send them to ietell@microsoft.com.

@Spike: "Why is Trident so far behind in CSS rendering?"

I could have asked the same question of Netscape five years ago. Mea culpa. My job is to fix it. I do not believe it is appropriate to say that all we've fixed is removing the hacks - we've been addressing the biggest CSS problem we have in the box model overflow issue, the biggest request with position:fixed and loads of other problems that cause webdevs' lives to be harder. I'm sorry if you feel we're not listening - we are working as hard as we can. If there are great developers out there looking for a job who are passionate about making IE better (and more standards-compliant), please have them contact me. CWilso@microsoft.com.

re: Frequently Asked Questions for the IE7 Beta 2 Preview

Brian Vallelunga — Thu, 02 Feb 2006 21:37:55 GMT

I must agree with the need for the following CSS:

max-height
max-width
min-height
min-width
content

They're very useful properties that I would really like to see added. As for the removal of the hacks / fixing of bugs, I think the situation isn't as dire as most people here are pointing out.

First, they have fixed many, many of the CSS bugs. There's a list posted a little while back on this site. It's not perfect yet, but they're getting there. I just hope the rendering engine isn't complete at this point and that they will fix even more well known bugs.

Second, the removal of the hacks isn't a bad thing. The alternative is the IE conditional comments method. This is actually very easy to use and allows you to make one separate IE only stylesheet that just gets included in your site. Why they didn't create a conditional comment inside of a CSS sheet is beyond me. That makes the most sense and I'd like to hear their reasoning.

Finally, I'd like to add my thoughts on the new UI. Previously MS has said that they couldn't just upgrade the rendering engine to fix bugs because that didn't matter to the end user. Thus they waited to upgrade the engine when they also added new non-rendering features. The developer in me screams at this logic as they let IE 6's bad behavior influence the market for far too long. Back to the new UI though. It's really not that bad. Here's my wishlist:

* The tabs could be two pixels shorter.

* The search box makes a noise when searching with the enter key... bad.

* Back and Forward are fine, but stick the Home and Feeds buttons up there. Right now there's too much left/right mouse movement for tasks. I'd actually put the stop button there as well.

* What about having the address bar below the tabs? This actually makes more logical sense as each page should have its own address, along with the left / right / go / stop buttons.

* I'm glad they got rid of the standard File menu, or at least made it unnecessary.

Great beta so far I think. We are using GPOs to control of the IE settings and I noticed the new "Some settings are managed by your system administrator" text on the Security options tab.

But how can we override the disabling of security settings if that is necessary? Is there some information of the updated GPOs that will be available for IE 7.0? Thanks much!

For anybody that has been getting the following error message when trying uninstall IE 7..

Internet Explorer cannot be uninstalled from this user account. Please log on to the same use account from which it was installed and try again.

Here is how to uninstall IE 7 anyways. It is sort of a hack way of doing it but it gets IE 7 off ur system. I got this error, even though I only use on account on my computer Administrator.

Goto C:\windows\$NtUninstallie7bet2p$\
Copy all the .dll and .exe to
c:\windows\system32\dllcache\
Then goto C:\windows\$NtUninstallie7bet2p$\spuninst\
Right click on spuninst.inf and goto Install
Rename spuninst.txt to spuninst.bat
Run spuninst.bat

You really MUST MUST MUST provide a way of running IE6 and 7 alongside each other.

re: Frequently Asked Questions for the IE7 Beta 2 Preview

Frank Butcher — Mon, 06 Feb 2006 18:05:22 GMT

I cant believe that MS havent allowed some sort of backwards compatbility for older versions of IE.

Developing in IE6 and checking box model hacks in IE5 worked, but now the emphasis is going to be on conditional comments and these dont work running standalone versions of the browsers.

Web development is becoming more of a chore with every browser thats released, great that we are looking to the future but unfortunately not everyone upgrades as often as those in the IT business.

I applaud correction and implmentation of standards, but you cant just ignore everythign that went before.

The fact that I cannot run IE6 & IE7 together does nothing but PISS ME OFF. For that reason alone Firefox will remain my preferred browser and the browser I recomend to others. I need to support IE6 and I need to learn about IE7. So I need another computer just for one app. Hey, maybe you can set it up so we need a separate computer for Word, and Excel, and FoxPro and so on. Load up on Intel stock and make a killing.

Going back and backspacing over or retyping text, it goes back to disappearing again... grr

IE 7b in VPC Mac & CSS crap

Steve — Thu, 09 Feb 2006 06:20:27 GMT

Personally, I'd like support for side-by-side. Force everything it needs into one big exe. :) But until then, we use VPC. One problem there is that our Mac developers can get IE 7 to work in VPC on that platform. Is this a know isssue?

As far as CSS is concerned, when implementing a spec that is unclear, please just go with what other browsers with any share of the market have done. We'd rather have IE be to spec, but when the spec doesn't help, go with what the Jones do, as that will make our lives easier.

I can't understand why people complain about the price of memory, and then expect changes in IE's build system because of that. It means you have two customers, and as such I hope MS prioritizes better than that.

You know, one way to have delt with all this stuff could have been to have two engines in IE -- IE6 for quirks mode and something like KHTML for strict mode. Not that I'm a big fan of KHTML... Please don't do a complete rewrite though -- it took Netscape over seven (?) years, and the destruction of the company before Firefox 1.5 came out. With its nice canvas and svg support.

Yea, not really a good idea to install IE7 and Live Messenger on the same machine. IE7 did some weird stuff with my default browser settings and causes messenger to crash for no reason when links are clicked.

About a few days ago, everything froze and I had to hard reset my poor laptop. After the machine boots up, it threw in a blue screen with errors in the registry. Trying to fix it with the recovery console didn't work out too well, so I had to install a new copy of Windows XP over it.

Unfortunately, my laptop is quite old and it came with a Windows XP SP1 CD. Here's the awesome part, I'll have to download SP 2 throught Windows Update that only works with IE 7 that doesn't work on SP 1.

Har har?

*sigh* looks like I'll actually have to go pay $2 to get a copy of the SP2 CD mailed in.

I had the same problem as others, the dial up connection kept flashing up. I tried setting it up to never dial a connection but the first time I tried it said it couldn't connect to the internet, if you hit retry it then connected. Also some programs wouldn't access the internet, Outlook was fine but Mailwasher wouldn't. Also Windows Update wouldn't recognise the internet connection. Maybe something to do with the ADSL connection. I tried uninstalling the modem and reinstalling it but it didn't solve the problem. Went back to IE6 and everything was fine
