Below are the results my own tests concerning the compliance of the new IE4.0 (pre-release 2). I used Steven Mulder's results for "Style sheet support by the browsers" (http://www.mcp.com/hayden/internet/style/table.html) as the basis for my work. If a property was checked by Steve as "completely supported", I didn't check it again. Thus, I assume that the new release did not break previously supported properties. Of course, not being myself a strong CSS wizard, I may have made wrong assumptions below. Thus, this list is opened for corrections and clarifications (especially from Microsoft people). THIS IS NOT A FINISHED WORK! If you are not patient, see at the bottom of this message for a list of what I consider still unsupported... Properties marked with "No browser support" or "Partial browser support"(IE4-PR1 Windows) in Steve's list : ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- Style sheet syntax ------------------ Imported styles : now supported Style sheet syntax: pseudo-classes, etc. ---------------------------------------- first-letter : STILL UNSUPPORTED first-line : STILL UNSUPPORTED ! important : STILL UNSUPPORTED Style sheet properties: fonts ----------------------------- font-size <length> : now supported font-weight 100-900 : to be checked. I don't know how to check! font-variant normal : now supported text-decoration blink : recognised but text does not blink (unrequired by CSS1) Style sheet properties: typography ---------------------------------- word-spacing : STILL UNSUPPORTED text-align : now fully supported (even justify) vertical-align baseline : now supported top : now supported text-top : I'm not really sure... middle : now supported bottom : now supported text-bottom: now supported <percentage>: STILL UNSUPPORTED Style sheet properties: colors and backgrounds ---------------------------------------------- background-repeat : now supported background-attachment : I don't know how to check! SPECIAL: for background-position, it looks like my understanding of CSS is the the same as Microsoft's. When I try to set style="background-position: 100% 100%" on a paragraph made of several lines with a small image as background, I only get one copy of my image in the lower right corner of the paragraph block. If I properly read CSS specification, I should get a repeated background image "beginning" at the lower right corner. Style sheet properties: Layout ------------------------------ margin-{top|bottom|right|left} : now supported ("auto" should be checked more carefully) padding* : now supported border* : now supported ("border-style: dotted" and "border-style: dashed" interpreted as "solid" (conform to core functionality) width : NOT FULLY SUPPORTED (style="width:auto" for an image makes the image....disappear!) heigth : NOT FULLY SUPPORTED (same as width) float: now supported (to be carefully checked) clear: now supported (to be carefully checked) Style sheet properties: classification -------------------------------------- display: now supported white-space: STILL UNSUPPORTED list-style* : everything is now supported Style sheet units ----------------- All units now seem to be supported but typography gurus should check this carefully RÉSUMÉ : UNSUPORTED CSS PROPERTIES -------------------------- first-letter first-line ! important word-spacing vertical-align with <percentage> width: auto height: auto white-space "I'M NOT REALLY SURE" STUFF --------------------------- font-weight: 100-900 vertical-align: text-top background-attachment background-position -- Christian Perrier Office National d'Etudes et Recherches Aerospatiales Chatillon, France <URL:http://www.onera.fr/>
