Web Design in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6

Internet Explorer 6 is the browser that comes with Windows XP, although it is also available for older Windows versions. As this book goes to press, Version 6 alone currently accounts for more than half of all web usage. Unfortunately, it is also notorious for inconsistent standards support. Microsoft has plans to release IE 7, which promises better security (the Achilles’ heel of previous versions) and better standards support, with special attention to Cascading Style Sheets Level 2.1.
