IE7 Beta 2 Preview

I've been playing with the new IE7 public beta for the last 30mins

Things i've noticed so far - i don't know how this compares with the betas that have been on msdn as I don't have access:

  • It looks, to me, like it renders the pages as an image, [at least when you zoom to a smaller size (ctrl+wheeldown)]. Makes the page look "fake" to me.
  • talking of zoom - the CTRL+wheel now zooms the page, as in opera, rather than changing the font-size, ala IE6/firefox.
  • it dosen't seam to style my H1 correctly when it has an image inside it. <h1><img src="myheadergraphic.gif" />Header text</h1>. The bottom-border on the h1 renders inside the box - or the content overlaps the border.
  • clicking on the arrow on a dropdown triggers the content filter pop-up blocker thingy saying "Pop-up blocked. To see this pop-up oradditional options click here" clicking on the bar only lets me change general settings not enable dropdowns. this happens wether the dropdown in question has any js enabled or not. I can use the keyboard to flick though the options though???

I'm sure i can fix some of this and come up with more given some more time.

back to work...
