Please test your sites with IE7

The information published in this post is now out-of-date and one or more links are invalid.

—IEBlog Editor, 22 August 2012

I’m very excited we’ve released a public preview of beta2 that everyone can download. I’m also very happy that we’ve opened up a couple of different avenues to take your feedback. As Dean mentioned, there is a great checklist for site developers on the IE7 preview site; I wanted to call out a specific item on that list.

Markus posted a while ago about the demise of CSS hacks in IE. We heard your feedback in the comments to that post, and we’ve put out a public preview release of IE7. I’d like to reiterate the call to action – if you are a web developer, please check your usage of CSS hacks. In addition to all the improvements in our CSS standard support that I talked about in July, and the other stuff I mentioned at the PDC, the IE layout team – developers, testers and program management – has done some amazing work since my last update and fixed the core of our CSS box model overflow problem (this means content overflow does not need to cause boxes to grow in size). We’re still refining our solution, but this means, for example, that simultaneously 1) the Holly hack won’t work properly anymore, and 2) it probably won’t be applied, because as we said before, the Star-HTML hack is gone.

It’s a difficult challenge to keep compatibility with sites and apps but break compatibility for standards compliance, and we would appreciate you checking your sites and making necessary changes where you’ve hacked in non-standard stuff for IE in the past. We would particularly like detailed feedback on the work we’re doing in this area.

We’re all very excited to start releasing. We’re going to try to restrain ourselves from posting dozens of blog posts today, and stop at three. :-)

 - Chris Wilson

Update: We now have a MSDN article that walks you through CSS compatibility issues: https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/IETechCol/cols/dnexpie/ie7_css_compat.asp

    Great news, and congratulations on getting through the door what must have been a very significant amount of refactoring work in CSS compliance areas alone.

    Great work! I've installed IE 7 on 2 Windows XP machines and the install went without a hitch.

    It takes a bit to find the locations of icons and new features, but all in all it looks great and so far, works great!

    DaveP,

    Yes, this replaces IE6 on your XP SP2 system.

    Fabio,

    We will have a beta coming up which will support all of our shipped platforms. The preview is only for x86 XP SP2.

    If ClearType on by default bothers you, you should try 1) tuning it with the tool at http://www.microsoft.com/typography, and if that doesn't help, 2) disable it in IE (Internet Tools...Advanced...under Multimedia, uncheck "Use ClearType".

    Too bad it replaces IE6 - I don't have spare Windows installation to break, so I won't be able to test it. However:

    If overflow is fixed (grrreat!) does IE7 have support for min-width/min-height then?

    Is hasLayout bug still triggered in same ways?

    Do hasLayout objects still clip their absolutely positioned children?

    It's made for Firefox with transparent pings and advanced CSS galore, so if IE7 knows its stuff it should look fine.

    I am wondering if the development of the tabs feature is completed to a point where there is no way to implement any other features that has to deal with tabs. The reason I'm asking is I would and I believe many others, would love to see a feature which allows you to group a bunch of favorites together into a folder. From there, have that folder located on your "Links" toolbar and that we would be able to right click or middle click on the "folder" and just have it open up in a group of tabs, very similar to FireFox.

    Is this something that can be implemented or brought up to the developers? I'd truly appreciate it.

    I think there may be an issue with OWA for exchange 2003 and the S/MIME control. I can not open a new message to send and when I try to reply to a message or forward a message I get the same issue. What happens is the page opens like it should, but it never completely loads and finally comes back and says: !An unknown error happened.

The new "always on" address bar is eating into that. I'm not asking for a way to turn it off remotely, I'm asking if there's an option in the advanced features to turn it off.

    I haven't downloaded the beta yet (will be doing so in the short future), but I do want to mention one BIG usability flaw in the design that I can see simply from the screenshots...

    The New Tab button should really be on the left. I guarantee someone will accidentally hit Close Tab when they mean to hit New Tab (which is the usability problem with putting New Tab on the far right of the bar; the last tab's Close Button is always right up against it).

  • Anonymous

    Dark Phoenix,

    The button to close a tab is on the tab, itself. You shouldn't have the problem that one has in, say, Firefox, where the close tab and close window button are next to each other.

    It's already there. Open the array of tabs you wish to save together. Press the + icon to the left of the tabs. Choose "Add Tab Group to Favorites". To open that array of tabs, locate the folder you just created in your favorites and press the green -> icon that will appear to its right. Viola!

    (Let me know if I should report this problem elsewhere! Thanks!)

    IE7 beta 2 doesn't seem to correctly render transparent (alpha-channeled) PNG images which are used in layers (floating DIV's) on a page.

    It renders the alpha channel portions incorrectly. For example, a soft alpha-channel drop shadow becomes completely solid black.

    To see this in action: 1) Visit http://www.cabel.name. 2) Click "Previous Entries" on the top right corner of the page.

    The pop-up window will have a solid black shadow instead of a soft one.

    Thanks so much for investigating!

    what's the deal with the ftp client? is it just missing because this is a beta or will it be missing from ie7? its the only reason i ever use ie, except for the occassional ie only site. and yes, i have the option in advanced options checked to do explorer style folder view for ftp.

  • Anonymous

    I understand that is already there.

    I guess I was not clear enough. You know how you have a "Links" toolbar? I'm not sure if you utilize it, but I know a lot of people who do. I have many links and instead of limiting myself to just those links, I added folders to the Links toolbar with links inside the folders. In FireFox, these are treated as links, you can middle click on the "folder" located on the "Links" toolbar and it will open the group in tabs. Instead with IE7, I have to open up or dock the Favorites section and then search for the folder in the "Links" folder and then click on the green button.

    What I am requesting is that the way the folders located inside or on the "Links" toolbar, are to be treated just like links themselves in that if you click on the folder which is located on your "Links" toolbar it will open the group in tabs.

    When selecting a group of tabs to open from the favorites pane, they are added to the already open tab. This is the intended use, I'm sure, but a bit annoying if one wants just the group to open. If it were possible to close ALL tabs (right now you have to have one open at all times), one could have the browser open like this by default and then open an array of tabs from the favorites pane without having to close the already open tab afterwards.

    Ok, I installed it ... it's nice, you've fixed some bugs ... great.

    However, don't you think it's a little dumb that your BETA overwrites the latest stable release?

    I'm a developer, and it's necessary for me to code for compatibility for IE6.x as well as look forward to the future release of IE 7.

    Why, oh why haven't you provided the capability of running these two browsers on the same machine?

    as has been said, looking real slick :)

    couple quick ones.... noticed right away that alot of links weren't picking up the style/color changes on the a:hover via my stylesheet... only thing that comes to mind is that they're preceeded by div/id, something like:

    #topbar a:hover {
    background: transparent;
    color: #f00;
    }

    noticed some scripts not working too, such as my hoversmack(), and others while hop'n around online.... example:

    the lightbox script:

    http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox/

    worked find under IE6 and IE7 (beta 1), and Firefox/Opera... but not IE7 (beta 2 preview)

    pages definitely loading faster (which is awesome), though there seems to be some issues with margins... quick test page and toggle'n between FF v1.5 and IE7B2 saw things shifting for me back-n-forth.

    (okay, i shut up now)

    Ahh, you essentially want the group functionality to be accessable from outside the favorites pane (in this case the Links toolbar). That would be a great addition. I'd like to see link groups as shortcuts that could be placed on the dsktop, as a matter of fact. One click from the desktop would open the browser with the proper array of tabs.

    I work all day long applications of my own design. They support websites I inherited. I've updated them over time, but not been able to convert to CSS, though some of the applications I've built do use CSS.

    I am excited to learn that my applications aren't slow, but that IE6 was slow. (Due to some glaring omissions, like the inability to find text inside form elements, I've never been able to use other browsers.) On the other hand, I'm dismayed at how much time I've collectively wasted, considering how much faster IE7 is than IE6 ever was.

    Some thoughts:

    1. I don't like the refresh button to the right of the address bar. It's much better where it always was next to the fwd and back buttons.

    2. The "Stop" button now looks like a "Close something" button ... you're kindof breaking some UI conventions there.

    3. If I create a new tab, then select another tab it opens to about:blank. Then, if I click on another tab, then back to the new tab, and position my cursor in the address field, it doesn't auto-select the text in there. Also, CTRL+A doesn't select all in the address bar either, I need to manually paint it, or use my backspace or delete to clear the field.

    4. I do like how you've liberated some space from the toolbar/menubar area and freed up screen real estate.

    @Rosyna-- This is behaving as expected, although I can see that the message is potentially ambiguous. For security purposes, IE7 does not permit mixing Latin and Japanese characters within a single label. We describe this in detail here: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/12/19/505564.aspx

    Eric, that doesn't really make much sense (for Japanese) as roman and Japanese text is mixed all the time in Japan. It's one of those "marketing" things. Also, the roman script and Japanese are not ambiguous. You can't use one to spoof the other.

    @Rosyna: "the roman script and Japanese are not ambiguous. You can't use one to spoof the other."

    Unfortunately, there are actually a fair number of Roman/Japanese confusables.

    0x30A8, 0xe05, 0x4e85, and a list of others are all potentially ambiguous.

    While it would technically be easier to permit potentially confusing combinations, it is important to us that the IDN experience in IE is secure and not a new treasure trove of spoofing attacks for the bad guys.

    As you noted, IE7 will still navigate to the site (no harm in that) but simply does not render the potentially confusable string (to prevent spoofing).

    Thanks for the feedback.

    There is a bug in IE6 still in IE7 with regards sizing boxes.
    Take this example:
    A div, 'div1', with the style "left: 200px; right: 200px;" has another div, 'div2', in it with "width: 100%". This stretches 'div1' to 100% the window size, when it should be the width of the browser -200px on the left and -200px on the right.

    This is close to how my website-in-development is set up, and it is really a nuisance, as I can't find any way whatsoever to fix it.

    You might start by using valid CSS first before you complain about CSS rendering problems.

    <style type="text/css" media="all">
    input[type=text] {
    background-color:pink;
    }
    input[name=funny] {
    padding:15px;
    }
    input:focus {
    background-color:red;
    }
    </style>
    <input type="text" name="funny" />

    Strangely, the input will show up with the 15px padding but NOT with the pink background. For some reason the attribute of "type" is not properly recognized in a selector. Aditionally, the pseudo-class of :focus does not do anything.

    In celebration of the release of Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 Preview, I have created a Web page with screenshots of most popular browsers since 1993.

    From NCSA Mosaic (pura vida Chris Wilson!), to Netscape, to IE, to AOL, it's pretty cool to see the evolution on the interfaces.

    My menu goes all corrupt on the left, it is all done with css. The funny thing is that it cuts out the second half of all menu items, even the text.

    It works fine on IE6,FF,Opera!!

    How are ⼅and エ spoofable? Especially when the roman characters 0x0049 (I) and 0x006C (l) are even more spoofable? 0xe05 (ฅ) isn't a Japanese Character.

    Also, the info bar suggests it can be fixed by adding Japanese to the language list, when it cannot (as far as I can see). So yes, it is ambiguous and wrong. The problem then becomes when people go to legitimate sites and get that error. 月 itself is not easily confused with any roman character that I know of.

    Safari, for example, has a list of Languages that have no characters that can easily be confused with each other.

    > This is a BETA, its not the final release,

    Yes, this is a beta, but as it is especially addressed to web developers, it should somehow show what can be expected in the final version.

    > I'm sure all most of the glitches and bugs are on a list of things to be ironed about in the future.

    But it's also said "Please send us your feedback on the IE7 Beta 2 Preview". So this is what the "nay-sayers" are doing.

    > They still have a lot of time left before the planned release date

    What do you mean by "a lot"? As I see it, it's dang few time to teach IE7 proper CSS (or more proper, as there's progress at least).

    > so don't start slating the team just because they haven't solved 'your' paticular issue.

    Again, don't mistake slating for reporting.
    And I'm glad you quoted "your". Of course these are issues of us, our visitors and the IE team.

    Excellent to see this available ahead of time. I have been looking forward to the RSS functions, and am impressed by how they appear in the interface. The one suggestion I have is to have the new posts for a feed appear below the feed title in the list of feeds. It seems that would be helpful to quickly scan what updates are available rather than going to each site.

    Keep up the great work!

    Conditional comments takes the sting out of the worst of the bugs but there are some very strange :hover issues. These seem to be rendering very slowly on a:hover for me.

    All in all, this is a step in the right direction for which you deserve kudos but its not exactly the MS saviour I think a lot of us were hoping for after the last blog post detailing the CSS bugs that would be fixed in Beta 2. However, I'm bearing in mind that this is only a Preview :o)

    Cecil points out above that in our preview we aren't properly checking pseudo-element error conditions when used in a group selector. This was a condition we happened to miss and have fixed it so this won't be a problem moving forward.

    When we first started talking about CSS pseudo-elements, I also made the mistake of using a poor example where-in the pseudo-element could appear anywhere within the selector as long as there was only one. This was a mistake on my part and isn't how we actually handle this.

    I've noticed that IE7 does not render padding and margin correctly. All of my sites work perfectly in IE6 and all the Gecko based browsers ie. Firefox, Safari etc...

    Is it really all that hard to go the extra mile and support web standards like Firefox. I mean come on you've already incorporated the use of tabs!

    The problem I'm facing is that the 98% of people that are using IE6 will be forced to upgrade to this inferior browser once released and included in the automatic windows updates. Unless the css rendering engine is corrected or at least take it back to the way IE6 renders css.

    Andrew Ingram:

    The only code you need to add to make the positioning in that example work in IE6/IE7 (without adversely affecting Firefox) is:

    html,body{height:100%;}

    And IIRC IE is doing nothing wrong in not assuming this automatically - I don't think the HTML specs say that the HTML & BODY elements should stretch to fill the viewport even if they have no flowed content - Firefox merely assumes this. Just different interpretations of something that isn't laid down in the spec.

    I noticed that ctrl + scrolling my mouse wheel changes the zoom level rather than the text size (the behavior in IE6). This is proving a bit problematic as a lot of my layout is based on the 'em' unit of measure, which breaks down when zooming in and out (but still works fine when the text size changes). So my question is: what is the proper way to design a layout that adjusts well for both changes in zoom as well as changes in text size?

    A redraw issue in this build of IE7.

    Go to http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/escape-floats.html

    and hit Page Down to scroll down, then Page Up to get back to the top. No problem.

    However, if I hit Page Down, then scroll back up to the top again by dragging the scroll bar back up with the mouse, parts of the black thick border are not redrawn (surrounding the set of "float" boxes).

    tested under WinXP at 1024x768.

    If you are worried about IE7 messing up your installs, you should consider installing a copy of Windows inside Virtual PC and running IE7 inside a sandbox there. Sandboxing different OSes and browsers is something VPC has always been very useful for. It may not be your ideal solution, but certainly better than buying a second PC.

    VPC is also part of the the MSDN Subscription.

    Your changed behavior most likely will be due to our overflow fix. this also is the reason for the MSN.de rendering problems. MSN.de is informed and they are updating their site.

    Here is a good doc that walks you through our CSS changes that most likely can cause rendering issues: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/IETechCol/cols/dnexpie/ie7_css_compat.asp

    Remember this is a preview release to give sites exactly a chance to evaluate and prepare for IE7.

    And since you implemented the attribute selector, these would be nice, too:

    a[href^="http:"]

    Additionally,

    8. The ‘dotted’ style only seems to work when all borders are either dotted or not showing. E.g. the level-2 heading (‘Web log’) doesn’t have a dotted underline, even though it should. It’s using border-bottom: 1px dotted #888; in combination with border-left: 4px solid #AAA;, and if I remove the latter it becomes dotted.

    9. General performance of my website is a bit on the low side, it hogs while scrolling.

    10. The date that is shown in the heading of each post has no spacing on the right, even though it has a padding-right: .3em; style on it (it’s absolutely positioned using right: 0;).

    p.s. Lauren: that’s working already.

    I don't want to overwrite IE6 so tested on the BrowserCam installation.

    Most sites fared OK but the CSS horizontal rollover/dropdown navigation on www.prodigytek.com is totally fubared. It took hours of hair-pulling to get it to validate and work cross-browser in the first place. I can't bear the thought of having to take this back to the drawing board.

    For those who haven't yet installed (or uninstalled), here's what the screen capture looks like - http://www.eartherdesigns.com/sitepoint/tek_IE7.jpg Now that's a real mess!

    I'm not going to spend time trying to fix it at the moment. I'm hoping that changes will be made on your end so the glitch goes away on its own.

    Right now, I'm not a happy camper. :(

    When I ran these through the tests, they appear to work perfectly. Also, IE7 gets ~ (CSS3 indirect adjacent sibling selector).

    As mentioned though, :focus, :active and :lang() don't work right, and I noticed some odd issues with absolute positioning using the left property (right works perfectly). I thought it might have been because of my incorrect conditional commens ([if IE], which I change to [if lte IE 6]), but the problem didn't go away. Unless IE7 is getting conditional comments it shouldn't, I think it might be a positioning bug.

    Thanks for your efforts. I have a request. Since you've now fixed the float-issues, it is essential that you implement the :after pseudo-class. Otherwise it makes it really problematic to make proper div-based column-design, because you no longer can clear the float. It wasn't a problem in IE6 because of the bugs with floats - now it is a HUGE problem.

    I've attached an example. You can check it in Safari, Camino, Firefox, Opera etc. to see how the :after class makes things work.

    Actually #container { height: auto; overflow: hidden; } is the proper way to solve this. But that neither works in IE7, I think.

    Nontheless, I think :after and :before are essential, too. I'm still waiting for a statement -- will they be implemented or not?

    Hi,
    I found this page: http://www.routerlinux.com
    there is a serious problem with the scrolling.
    I think, it is something with the CSS rendering.
    It's just fine in IE6, although the menu should stay at the top of the page (like in FF).

    And there is something wrong with refressing wysiwyg editors while editing the text, especiali after paste or backspace (like one at hotmail).

    Is there any hope, that favourites/history/feeds will have some filter/serch input? I also hope for some option that make IE remember the positon and status of the threes after restart. And a drag&drop like reordering tabs feature. And an option for automatize Restor Last Tab Group. And a minimize to systray feature :)
    These are the things that prevent me to make IE7 the default browser. All the other changes are great, and I like this new look very mutch.

    Maybe you should do some more propaganda for Add-ons (like mozilla done for the extensions) and my hopes may easily fulfill :)

    oh, I almost forgot.
    I also hope for a feature (option) which bring the focus to the last viewed tab after a tabclose. And when there is only one tab left, there should be a close button which replace the tab with a blank one.

    Regarding my earlier statement concerning example 11, I reported it at Mozillazine and they told me that Firefox and Opera are rendering it differently than IE7 is rendering it because of "<div style="clear: both;"></div>" so on second thought this probably is a bug in IE7.

    I had used the tool TopStyle 3 to download analyse and re-save the page. TopStyle adds an HTML comment at the top of the document, which forces IE7 into quirksmode presumably. So mystery solved.

    btw, I'm happy with that. I like the new GUIs (vista, IE7, O12).

    Zoltan, the recommendation for Windows XP is not going to change (as I doubt XP Service Pack 3 will give us Windows Vista style windows) so they are breaking their windows user experience design guidelines.

    It would be great if they would code things so that the menu bar would be compliant with their own guidelines on Windows XP and like it is now on Windows Vista.

    I just want to let you know that I can't run Service Pack 2 on windows XP, period. It doesn't work and there's no apparent solution to it, except to buy new hardware, even though it's already new.

    Do MS programs have to be so "conditional" that you can ONLY run certain things on certain versions?

    Without being able to test with IE7 I will just have to say I don't support it when designing websites. But I'm not going to support IE6 when IE7 is released either, so I will have to trust IE7 to work as every other browser does.

    I'm sick of this stupid "built into windows functionality" IE has. MS has a monopoly on IE and the only reliable way for me to test IE7 would be to buy Vista, which I shouldn't need in the first place.

    There shouldn't be any reason why IE7 can't work on Windowx XP SP1.

    rediculous.

    I like IE7, with the following exceptions:
    1.The buttons for Favorites Center and Add / Subscribe should be removable.
    2.The annoying ClearType font should be turned off by Default.
    3.The search bar should be optional. Do not compete with Google.
    4.The File, Edit... menus should be on by Default.

    I tried a standalone version yesterday but once again was getting multiple windows opening, error messages etc. as I did with Beta1. At least the version automatically deleted the offending registry key.

    I surrender. Have it your way. If MS will not provide a standalone version, I won't be helping to test. Neither will I be rewriting code that works perfectly in FF, Opera, Netscape, Safari, Konqueror etc. to accommodate another buggy MS browser.

    If there are remaining or new CSS bugs in the final release of IE7, I am considering not supporting it. Those using IE7 would get a message explaining why. If enough designers followed suit, maybe things would change.

    Wow! That feels better now that I got that off my chest.

    Shining Arcanine, all the upcoming ms softwares break that recommendation. o12 will also be available for xp users. even the wmp do not have menu bar, in msn messenger it can be turned off.
    I understand that for xp it should be on by default and it sould be appear at the top of the window, but IE7 is for vista, and in vista the navbar and the titlebar are combined with each other and it's part of the "glass" frame. so both functional and design reason it can't be on the top.

    If the Favorites Center is docked the popup windows will also have that. it can be confusing
    and annoying too.

    oh, and I give a vote for the standalone version :)

    The issues affecting input buttons in IE have still not been fixed even though the problem is so weird and has no reason to be there.

    This is a test case about what happens to buttons in Internet Explorer: http://rowanw.com/testcases/ie_buttons.htm

    Is something being done about this?

    I have found very interesting problems that do not occur with IE 6 and Firefox.

    We are rendering several database applications through the browser where the browser loads a page for about 20 minutes.

    There are loops in there like:
    while(Loop through MySQL Array){        
    Update Database
    print $key;
    }

    1) IE 7 beta breaks up in between without proper warning when this happens. It just times out.

    2) Also there is no outputs written to the browser. Those should be written during the several minutes of excecution, dynamically.

    3) In a different application generate Images on the fly which takes about 4 seconds because these are rather complicated graphs of energy usage. The image display fails at the first time. this only works when reloading (faster because the image generation software does caching), or when right clicking and selecting 'display image'.  

    Other browsers like IE 6.028 and Firefox wait properly and display the right content!!!!Apart good work but please have a look into this, or two!
    Thanks.

    IE7's behaviour when you try to do FTP client things from within IE7 does seem more than a bit weird/buggy at present.

    But you can (well, I had no problem) still do FTP   tasks successfully by going to Windows Explorer, (see item in IE7's "File" Menu).

    I think this comment is a very important issue. I was testing a couple of my sites which appeared to be broken with over-lapping content. Have spent ages trying to fix my sites I realised I was looking at my sites with one notch (10%) up on the zoom feature. Setting it back to default fixed my sites! Ok, I should have realised but two thoughts come to mind. Warn testers of this issue. What sort of design would best fit zooming in and out.

    I tested my pages in IE 7 beta 2 preview as the IE team requested and discovered that conditional comments don't work correctly in IE7 or IE6.

    Please open this page in IE to see what I mean: http://rowanw.com/tests/conditional_comments_broke.htm

    IE7 only displays half the data it should, while IE6 doesn't return anything. I have used the <comment> tag, because I've used it on a live page combined with conditional comments to make something work in IE6. That particular page doesn't render in IE7.

    So have a look at my example page and tell me I made a mistake. I used two separate windows machines with diffierent versions of IE to test this.

    <label><input></label> without the 'for' attribute is not working as it should:
    http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/forms.html#h-17.9.1

    I fixed this with some few lines of JS code:
    http://phpfi.com/101913
    (Thus not working for labels added dynamically after the site was loaded.)
    See it in action here:

    I bet you can do something similar, hardcoded into IE7.

    The smoothing of the fonts in ie7 makes it unusable for me. I switched back to ie6. I hope this is not a permanent feature as I will not use ie7 if the fonts remain like this.
