That looks great, we'll have to take a look at how to use these new features that are spec'ed above.

Nothing is as annoying to many of us than the long periods of time hearing nothing. So I applaud you all on the continuous writing on this blog this week.

In that same vein of thought, when we test other new browsers, we generally get a milestone release, and if we have problems, we get a nightly release from time to time to see how it fares.

Please don't make us wait huge amounts of time for changes, we are developers, not consumers. Nightlies would be great, though weeklies would be fine as well.

Will the CSS opacity property be supported in IE8? Neither the property from the W3C CSS3 spec, nor the MS filter (alpha(opacity=x)) works in IE8b1 standards mode.

For the music player frame on my website I have 490px total available width.

Other elements taking up horizontal space...

object element: 31px

six 19px anchor elements: 114px

---------------------------------

= 145px used

= 345px remaining

I presume the select element when set to display as a block should be 343px in width with border-width: 1px; should properly result in no "unused" pixels.

IE8-B1 seems to execute this correctly while Gecko 1.8/1.9, Webkit 523, and Opera 9.5B all disagree and I still have 2px of empty horizontal space.

I am going to have to go with IE8B1's interpretation of this unless I'm missing something?

I second the weekly build request. Just put in somewhere deep in microsoft connect or msdn where non developer won't look for it.

Developers know what weekly builds are for and won't expect beta or even ctp quality from these builds.

Even shipping these builds only preinstalled on virtual pc images to avoid any possible damage, would be better than nothing.

Thanks!

I don't know about the weekly build suggestion. Since IE still installs as a parasite that wraps around the OS's spinal coord, that might not be such a great idea.

一种在IE中编写Mashups的新方法

hunhun1981 — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 15:52:37 GMT

Mashup是一个被松散定义的Web应用程序，它将从各个源中获得数据和功能联合在一起。它通常使用JavaScript，也许还有AJAX技术在浏览器中执行。虽然它们已经相当的成功，但是mashups通常还需要站点运营者进行一定的规划。

The Open Specification Promise is worthless - it's an idea untested in law, it can be revoked in future versions, and it is incompatible with most Free Software licenses which include patent language, such as what is arguably Microsoft's biggest competitor, the GPL license and it's surrounding ecosystem.

Please use a real patent pledge, like Sun did for ODF:

It must be both irrevocable and non-discriminatory (apply to everyone for anything they wish to do).

I agree with what others are saying about keeping distance from 'weekly build'. I don't know (like many) and am awaiting to see how the nightly releases work out. However I am keeping my expectations inline with real prior experiences. I can't stand long durations waiting for a change that is long past due.
