Ie 9

    Does IE9 comply with CSS3? I don't have access to IE9 readily. I use CSS3 rounded corners, gradients and drop shadow on my site. It works in every browser except IE8. I wondered if IE9 had got up to speed?

    As always, IE9 continues to be the worst browser on the planet. In CSS3, it's missing border-image, text-shadow, animations, flexbox, transitions and transforms, and that's only what I recall off the top of my head.

    No one should be using IE. It holds back the web.

    DAMN STRAIGHT!

    WTF for? hahahaha

    I don't think there is.....honestly I don't.......

    HAHAHAHAHAHA, if you're like me then you've suggested that for kicks.... hahahaha, see how many suckers you can get to install it cause you sure as hell won't be! hahahahaha, but if that's not the case my bad....



    Honestly I first saw the title of this thread and rolfcopter'd out of control. Seriously people still use this? Then I read through the comments and I still can't work out whether nihangshah is pulling the piss or not..... if he is, hahahahahahahahahahahaha, if he's actually not and just wanting some real feedback on it, then I completely understand why you're trying to get others to do your bidding, I mean I believe just downloading that IE10 file will break the IntErnEtz, trojan the hel outta ya pc, and probably kill you while you sleep....ahahahahahahahahahahahaha

    ahhhhhh IE, how you never fail to make me laugh......

    All the CSS2 and CSS1 quirks are gone, so it's finally on par with mozilla firefox 0.94...

    It does support CSS3 gradient backgrounds and CSS3 drop shadows. In fact, I think the list is longer on what it does work with than what it doesn't. I personally dislike IE as well, but I have to give credit where credit is due, and there is at least one feature I noticed that blows every other browser out of the water. It processes really long pages like a beast. I've only seen a page that falls under this specific category once, but basically the page was so long, that every other browser (FF, Cr (get it? like the element?)) would lag up and have to 'buffer' so to speak, while scrolling down at a fast rate. IE9 scrolled flawlessly and smoothly through the entire page (same computer, same amount of time given to each browser before scrolling attempted).

    Yes, nearly 40% of people still use IE, according to Statcounter Global Stats.

    Obviously you've never used a good browser or don't understand the technical issues.

    IE10, as it stands right now, is already at least 3 years behind all the other browsers today in modern standards and compliance. Developers are already talking about what IE10 does not support what all other browsers do today. Since IE10 won't be out for at least another year, and the other browsers will be advancing, consider IE10 to be at least five years behind all other browsers by the time it comes out.

    Inept and incompetent, IE will always be the worst browser on the planet.
