For people who own/use Macs - new MacIE 5.1 was released recently. As I have heard only good things about Mac IE 5.0 (do not mix with IE5/Windows or with IE6!), I highly recommend to download it and give a try. Comments to the list are, of course, welcome! (especially as I don't have Mac and can't test this browser on my own) ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: IE5.1/Mac ships with CSS improvements Date: Wed, 19 Dec 2001 11:03:30 -0800 From: Tantek Celik <tantek@cs.stanford.edu> To: "www-style@w3.org" <www-style@w3.org> I am happy to announce that we have shipped Internet Explorer 5.1 (now available for MacOS 8 & 9 in addition to MacOS X) with the Tasman presentation engine. Just a 5.4MB download from here: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/download/ie/ie51.asp Building on the solid support for W3C standards in Tasman which shipped in IE5/Mac (CSS-1, HTML4, PNG 1.0, ECMA 262, DOM 1.0 HTML), this release consists primarily of bug fixes and performance improvements. It is probably of interest to this list that we have made numerous CSS fixes and improvements (mostly esoteric), for example: - improved/stricter keyword parsing [1] - case sensitive treatment of class and ID [2] - application of CSS style sheets to XML [3] - CSS character escapes [4] - CSS2 Universal Selector '*' [5] - CSS2 Child Selector '>' (nondeterministic matching) [6] - CSS2 Adjacent Sibling Selector '+' (nondeterministic matching) [7] - Specificity of non-CSS presentational hints [8] - font-weight values [9] - CDO/CDC parsing in inline style sheets [10] - styling of <hr>, <br> elements [11] - collapsing empty HTML <p> elements as display:none [12] - ignoring invalid @imports [13] Aside from these improvements, a few interesting user interface improvements have been made such as the ability to drag and drop arbitrary images and hyperlinks (and hyperlinked images) to the button bar.
