All course, never though about that. Only the properties that relate to the old box model will work when using escapes. So that would mean width, height, and maybe padding, borders and margins. Thinking about it the IE team intentions are really good. There IE8 mode, IE7 Strict mode and IE5 quirk modes all reflecting how the the author has coded the CSS and if a strict doctype appears or no doctype is present. The only parsing problems retained are those that IE7 had. http://css-class.com/test/css/selectors/ie/import-hacks.htm Only IE8 standard mode will show all green. And this seems to apply to all the import test that Georg has. From the various questions of correct parsing that IE team members have requested feedback on on the CSS WG list I believe they wanted IE8 to parse CSS correctly. I have spoken to soon. http://css-class.com/test/css/selectors/commented-selector.htm My notes say that IE7 will ignore html/**/>body and show the second line red, IE8 in IE7 mode shows this line green. Can anyone please confirm that the second line is indeed red in the real IE7?
