why all this hate? maybe they are trying to comply with standards, maybe it will help, maybe we will not have to work twice to align the f CSS on IE? At least this is their formal goal and these are very good news.
- pavs 16y agoNo their formal goal is to do a half-assed job and pass themselves as the leaders. In hind-sight a hald-assed job is still better than the clusterfuck that is IE, that doesn't change the fact that they are being intentionally dishonest about the test circumstances (Old browser version against IE preview, tests tailored made for them).
- DrSprout 16y agoIt's not a standard if your tests are designed to match what your browser currently does. The real tests of compatibility are those like Acid3 that are designed to fail all browsers equally. This one is clearly designed to fail all non-IE browsers.
- jimbokun 16y agoI don't think they designed them to fail non-IE browsers, so much as they designed the tests for things they had already implemented in IE 9. I think they could have avoided most of the criticisms in this thread if they had simply added a note saying something like "We made sure that IE 9 passed these tests before submitting to W3C, which is why IE 9 gets perfect marks below. Note also that these tests do not cover all of the HTML5 specification." (etc.) Having IE9 at 100% on every test with no explanation really makes it look like they're trying to put one over on the reader.
