Microsoft has been reluctant to talk about any details about the new browser since it first revealed that it had changed its mind a month ago and planned to launch a new version of Internet Explorer before Longhorn was released. Will ie 7.0 be displayed with tags? Does it comply with the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) 2.0 standard? How to improve security? Microsoft answers all the questions: no one can tell.

Microsoft has clearly stated that the main goal of ie 7.0 is to improve security. In addition, the company officials also recently said that ie7.0 is only available to users of Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003 SP1, and Windows XP Professional x64. The first beta version was released this summer.

However, Microsoft has disclosed more information about ie 7.0 to some key partners. According to anonymous sources, the most significant change in ie7.0 code is the adoption of tag browsing. In addition, ie 7.0 will support international domain names (IDN), network image file formats (PNG) pivoting, and simplify new features for printing data from ie 7.0. In addition, the new browser is likely to integrate a news collector, which makes it possible to think of its RSS news collector which was just tested by MSN.

According to the message source, among the many new security enhancement features integrated by IE 7.o, the following are worth noting:

The default mode is the reduced privilege mode );

Cross-Domain Scripting and/or scripting are not supported;

The SSL user interface is enhanced;

Microsoft's Anti-Spyware service may be integrated in ie 7.0. This service is currently in beta testing.

The message also means that Microsoft's support for CSS 2 in ie 7.0 has been fluctuating. Over the years, developers have made great comments on Microsoft's failure to support W3C's latest CSS standards. However, Microsoft is more inclined to add support for some css2 features in ie 7.0 than to fully accept this standard.

If IE7 is completely css2, it is of course all-in-one. However, in the article titled "Rincon" reported the day before, IE7 features are emerging, Microsoft said that IE7 will partially support css2 (Cascading Style Sheets Level 2) W3C (Worldwide Web Consortium) standards, many web designers and users are very dissatisfied with this.

Css2 is a style template language that allows developers to Add fonts, spaces, terms, and other information to HTML documents and XML applications. Css2 can also separately describe the style of each document to simplify the web creation and website maintenance processes.

Microsoft's point of view:
Microsoft regards css2 as a standard with defects and intends to wait for the release of a later version, such as css2.1 or css3, before fully supporting it. When asked about IE7's support for css2, a Microsoft spokesman said that we cannot disclose all features of IE7 and cannot comment on W3C standards and css2. However, IE6 also supports css2.

Designers and users:
Designers and users believe that some support for css2 cannot provide cross-platform collaboration functions, let alone the advantages of full support. Analysts James Thiele said that Google maps and other websites have shown a strong desire for Web developers to use CSS and ddml (Dynamic HTML. If IE7 ignores css2, Microsoft will regret it.

Father of css2:
The father of css2 and opera CTO Hakon Wium lie issued an opening book to Microsoft, officially starting a web standards project test project named "acid2". It contains the features that web designers have always dreamed, such as improving element layout. He pointed out that when IE7 was released, these functional components were the first to be added, and the web designers of genius idea could not waste the opportunity to modify IE.
