Developers are working on ACID3 test
Posted on Thursday, January 10th, 2008 under browser news, web design news, web standards by Dustin Brewer.With the announcement that both Firefox 3 and IE8 have passed the acid2 test, Ian Hickson has been working hard on the acid3 test. The new test will focus mostly on ECMAScript and Dom through Selectors Level3, Media queries and data URIs. The new acid3 test isn’t quite ready yet but it should become ready within the coming months.
This new test will put more pressure on the browsers to attempt to adhere to further standards with JavaScript. Hopefully they will all pass it soon with their push towards adopting web standards as they are written.
Hopefully we will be seeing IE8 and Firefox 3 released very soon. There are of course already versions of Firefox 3 available for download. However, not many of the extensions work on the beta browser yet. Until they do I don’t plan to fully switch over to Firefox 3. I would like to say that Firefox 3 renders pages incredibly fast and loads and runs very fast within Windows also. I’m awed by the new version.
Whats Next?

Haha, this just rubs it in IE’s face more. “Hey, you did it, but we’re already working on the next bit!”
Curiously, how does someone make these tests if there is no browser to check if it works? Must be a hell of a lot of hard work.
I think all of the tests fail in at least one of the other browsers, Safari, Opera or Firefox. The tests really aren’t aimed at any version of IE, which would be too easy. With one exception: he said he wrote one specifically to make sure that IE passes at least one of the tests, probably just to test the tests.

Go Firefox 3!
I would personally prefer IE8’s released delayed for personal reasons: my university requires students to [re-]register their computers in order to have internet access for the semester, but students need to use the latest version of Internet Explorer. It’s just one extra hassle that I don’t like putting up with.

WebKit passed Acid3 fully for the first time on Friday. So it’s 100 subtests of 100 passed now.
