CSS and those hacks for IE, may be here to stay

IE7

At least for a little while more. A report on sitepoint points to an account by Molly Holzschlag of Tuesday's meeting of the Web Standards Project's Microsoft Task Force. The bad news? It won't be perfect obviously, there are still a number of issues requiring hacks that will remain present in IE7. However they have fixed a number of problems we deal with everyday like the overflow problem. But hey, they are trying, and my god PNG images' alpha transparency is going to work! Goodbye GIF images!

1. If you use GIF's just so the images don't look crappy in IE now, I pity you. I dropped GIF's over a year ago. Screw IE.

2. I used GIF images only in instances where I needed the transparency effect. Otherwise I stuck with PNG or JPG images. How else would you be able to attain the transparency effect?

3. You can use PNG in IE now, but you have to have a javascript fix to make it work. Depending on what type of script you use, there are different limitations. The biggest hurdle is that you generally can't use an transparency in a CSS background. But for regular images, the js hack seems to work pretty well.
