IE7 JS library review

In "PNG transparency issues" I’ve written about some of many IE problems later on in "Yellow fields in web form" I’ve mentioned focus fix but now I would like to introduce you to IE7 JavaScript library which can make our lives so much easier

IE7 is a JavaScript library made by Dean Edwards to make Microsoft Internet Explorer behave like a standards-compliant browser. It fixes many HTML and CSS issues and makes transparent PNG work correctly under IE5 and IE6 (Windows only). Right now this is version 2 and it’s in officially in beta phase.

You can download it directly here and just implement it in your head tag

Upgrade MSIE5-6 to be compatible with MSIE7.

 
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<script src="http://ie7-js.googlecode.com/svn/version/xx.x/IE7.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<![endif]-->
 

Upgrade MSIE5-7 with advanced CSS features missing from MSIE7.

 
<!--[if lt IE 8]>
<script src="http://ie7-js.googlecode.com/svn/version/xx.x/IE8.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<![endif]-->
 

NOTE: You do not need to include IE7.js if you are using IE8.js

The project is hosted on Google Code and you can test it on it’s test page

  1. This sounds great, all solutions in one file! I only hope its not to big in file size…

    Thanks!

  2. Have anyone tried it. I’ve tried it and it does not work at all. My IE 6 stops responding and shortly crashes.

    @ shane plasebo
    Well I’ve recently done some testing, I’ve connected it directly from Google and in IE6 it slows down page and soon freezes. I also had some difficulties to make it work with png background image.
    But anyway this is great idea and i am sure these problems will be fixed in some of next versions

    @ Tim
    It’s just 11KB gzipped ;) and you can link it from Google

    <!--[if lt IE 7]>
    <script src="http://ie7-js.googlecode.com/svn/version/2.0(beta)/IE8.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <![endif]-->
