IE7 Compatibility, ACT now!
IE7 is coming soon, and in order to prepare us, Microsoft is broadcasting e-mail notices to inform us regarding the Best Practices for “minimizing disruption” to our application environments. I’m so glad to see Microsoft being proactive about ensuring that everyone who codes for the web will have time to upgrade the internet to be Vista-ready. For those of you still coding for outdated browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or Opera, here’s a link to their readiness toolkit. Good luck, starfighter!
“The IE7 Readiness Toolkit provides the following:
- Pointer to the latest publicly available build of IE7
- Developer checklist, including new features and changes of interest to application and Web developers
- Testing guidance and tips for isolating and identifying a particular compatibility problem
- Tools for development and testing
- Links to resources, technical articles and helpful blog posts
- Various methods to provide feedback to Microsoft
- The Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.0 (ACT 5.0) enables you to test your browser-based applications and ensure that they will work seamlessly with IE7. “
