Yes, that's essentially correct. IE=edge was added back in the days the default behaviour was going to be IE7 mode, but now that the default has switched to Best (IE8 mode, for now), the edge value has become kind of pointless. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- ppk, freelance web developer http://www.quirksmode.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
