Web Devout tidings

Following the Firefox Myths and Opera Myths articles, an article on Internet Explorer myths is now available. This article addresses some common misconceptions regarding the Internet Explorer web browser and attempts to put the situation into perspective. These myths articles are expected to evolve as time goes on.

Web Devout has a new article entitled Opera myths, to compliment the Firefox myths article. It is designed to clarify some misconceptions about various aspects of the Opera web browser. This article is expected to evolve over time.

Information about public exploits has been added to the Web browser security summary resource. The information so far comes exclusively from Secunia.

A lot of new statistical information has been added to the Web browser security summary resource. Since security is a significant factor in deciding which browser to use, this resource tries to present the situation from as many different angles as possible.

I have finished the DOM and ECMAScript support information for Internet Explorer 7.

There isn’t much to say. As far as I could see, only three things have been changed:

• Element.style.maxHeight is now supported.
• Element.style.maxWidth is now supported.
• Element.style.minWidth is now supported.

It’s surely a disappointment for those who were hoping for more of a move toward the DOM standards. There were also some changes regarding XMLHttpRequest, but that’s proprietary and thus beyond the scope of my tables.

And sadly, this is not an April Fool’s joke. Sorry.
