Upgrade Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) to 7.0

Update your Microsoft Inter­net Explorer browser to 7.o lev­els now, with this library from Dean Edwards: no more hacks for CSS!

Just learned about this at a recent con­fer­ence. You can now down­load a neat library from Dean Edwards that will upgrade your IE to 7.0 levels:

This down­load (as men­tioned, *still in alpha*) fixes prob­lems with IE's CSS sup­port. Now you can have pure CSS menus in IE, which pre­vi­ously worked only in other browsers such as Mozilla!

Adden­dum: Please note that this is not from Microsoft, as men­tioned by Dean in com­ment 1.

    This is *NOT* from Microsoft. It is my own library that is included in web pages to fix known ren­der­ing problems.

    Thanks Dean. Have updated the entry. It's a cool hack!

    How is this 7.0 dif­fer­ent from fake browser stamps?

    Man­gle, I guess that's a rhetor­i­cal ques­tion? Fake stamps are easy to manip­u­late in your browser, they don't really carry much mean­ing. I could ask my Opera to declare itself to web servers as "MSIE 10.56.190.1" for all you know.

    The above set of libraries is, as Dean clar­i­fied, not really MSIE7.0 but some code that equips IE to han­dle some CSS hacks eas­ily. HTH.

    Hi, unzipped to folder as in instruc­tions. Not sure if it is work­ing or not as instruc­tion men­tion server?

    I do have Fire­fox and access via IE does now seem as quick.
