IE 7 (the script) updated.

I happened across an announcement from a few days back that Dean Edwards had updated his IE7 script:

This is a script that Dean created several years ago to make IE6 more standards compliant. It was interesting at the time, but I never got around to using it.

This past week I’ve been dealing with some very annoying IE6 issues, and I’m thinking this is really the way to go from now on. You don’t even need to download the .js file, as you can now link directly to it from Google Code:

This is also a major update and Dean did something fairly ingenious, IMHO. The IE7 script is a script that fixes all the bugs in IE6 that IE7 (the browser) fixes. That will make IE6 and IE7 about as close as one can get. But then there’s also the IE8 script, which does everything IE7 (the script) does, but adds some other fixes that even IE7 (the browser) didn’t get around to fixing.
