I had this crazy idea that MS would allow developers to implement something like this so we could forget about the various furbar'd rendering engines MS produces and just run with something that works for those of us who code to, or try to code to, the various standards:
<meta name="engine" content="webkit" /> or at least allow us to stick in a HTTP response header for the client: X-HTML-Rendering-Engine: webkit Given the webkit (http://webkit.org/) BSD/LGPL licensing... although I wouldn't see myself as a licensing expert and I doubt MS would want to implement an open source license, but a man can dream. At least we suffering developers could tell IE what engine to render the page with, and IE lovers can still have their IE chrome :D Cheers James On Tue, 4 Mar 2008 02:25:25 pm Chris Knowles wrote: > "We've decided that IE8 will, by default, interpret web content in the > most standards compliant way it can.
