I’ve actually downloaded and played with IE8 beta, and frankly, the double margin bug is still right there for everyone to see… so acid2 compliant or not, our days of hacking around IE are far from over.

There will be an update to IE7 to make it more compatible… it’s called IE8!

Unfortunately a staggering number of people still use IE6. We’ll be putting in hacks for those people until that number drops… because the end-users of a client’s site don’t care about compliancy, they’ll just report back, “Your site looks broken.”

I’d be happy if they’d at least switch to IE7 for now.

*sigh*

Firefox 2 for Mac is not compliant if this test really works.

Firefox has passed ACID2 since an early alpha release of Firefox 3. The current latest, Firefox 3 beta 2 passes ACID2. We’re not just showing screenshots, we’ve had ACID2 working for some time and you can download Firefox betas and see for yourself.
