IE7 – CSS Compatibility Needs Improvement

Posted on December 28, 2006 by Peter

I have been trying to tweak this blog so that it will render correctly in IE7. Why is IE7 so bad at rendering CSS. It works fine in Firefox.

I think it is because they have to do something different. The problem that I had is that it has a bug in background-image and background-color command in CSS. It hides text that should float over it.

I have done a work-around and it displays as close as I can get it now. But IE7 needs to improve its CSS rendering or people will continue to move away from it.
