Dean Edwards IE7.js 2.0 Release
Date : 2008 01 07 Category : Tech & DevelopmentThe first famous “IE7″ out there was Dean Edwards script that fixed IE 6 in as many ways as possible.
Now the IE7 browser itself has come out, Dean has updated his library to make sense in the new world, resulting in the new IE7.js 2.0 release which features:
The IE7 project is now hosted on googlecode (I got fed up with SourceForge). IE7 is no longer modular. Instead I’ve merged the scripts into two: IE7.js and IE8.js IE7.js includes only fixes that are included in the real MSIE7 browser. All other enhancements are moved to IE8.js. IE7 is now much smaller (11KB gzipped). IE7 is now much faster (it uses the selector engine from base2.DOM) There are no dependencies on other files (except blank.gif) You can hotlink IE7/IE8.js directly from Google’s servers (usage instructions below) The fix for base64 encoded images is no longer includedThe new project is now living over on Google Code.
