The response was, "Oh, yeah, like they don't do the same thing " with CSS." "[snip] " So I put it to the folks here: ARE there any proprietary properties? MS has implemented support for a number of "proposed" CSS properties in IE4. I can't provide a list, but the "hover" pseudoclass on links, custom cursor and filter support come to mind. I don't think these are really so insidious in themselves, but I wish they'd implement all of CSS1 before going off on their own. Like "width" on block-level elements other than DIV, or the real "ex" unit (not just .5 em).
