[WSG] MSIE standalone from quirksmode and conditional comments

Hi all, I'm using the standalone MSIE 5.01 and 5.5 from www.quirksmode.org to tweak a design for IE5 and 5.5. This went perfectly fine, the site looks great. However I have one question: Is it just me or don't these versions pick up conditional comments for various older IE versions? Fo

Hmm this is funny... There's one person reporting it's blurry while another one calls it jagged. Could this have something to do with font smoothing settings? I do know the jagged look is because of ClearType not being enabled. Win2k doesn't even have it at all which will render any (especi

I just tried FF 1.5RC3 on my mac and I am not experiencing this behaviour so I guess it's indeed some sort of rounding error. It does fix the problem 1.0.7 has with the tags cloud in the sidebar having more right margin than left margin. That looks like it does in Safari and MSIE now, final

It's gotta be pixel sized or it will screw up big time when the letters get bigger than the area they're in. What's so wrong with pixel size anyway? Just out of curiosity... - Marco P.S: fixed the font family thing. You're right that was a messy definition. On Nov 26, 2005, at 9:31 PM, Ch
