On IE5's development merits: IE 5.0 improves on earlier releases but complicates Web builders' lives builder.com Highlights: Microsoft has fallen well short of its promises to support World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards, particularly in its selective, fragmentary, and unhelpful support for the Document Object Model (DOM). Almost none of the standards-related omissions and mistakes in IE 5.0 will have any real consequence for Web builders until and unless Netscape's open-source Mozilla project produces a new commercial release of Communicator Extensive testing shows that IE 5.0's support for the HTML 4.0 standard is nearly complete, which is greatly encouraging. The combination of [CSS] omissions will force Web builders once again to use a lowest-common-denominator subset of CSS-1 to keep their pages from breaking in IE 5.0 even if and when other browsers provide full or nearly full CSS-1 support. The differences between Microsoft and Netscape in the nomenclature and support for the DOM in the current 4.x versions of the browsers is bad. The situation does not materially improve with IE 5.0's release.
