My answer: your websites will render with IE 7 pseudo-"standards" rendering mode where we know that at the very least 750 bugs (spec. violations, incorrect implementations, faulty implementations) happen. Several parts of the DOM 1 & DOM 2 (roughly 500 methods, attributes) and CSS 2.1 will also be unsupported. Visit my webpage to see for yourself Regards, Gérard Hello all,

Several parts of the DOM 1 & DOM 2 (roughly 500 methods, attributes) and CSS 2.1 will also be unsupported.

I’m not going to go into the pros and cons of this decision as it’s been comprehensively covered elsewhere. What I’d like to discuss is what this decision means for the average site owner and what they can expect when IE8 comes out (no firm date yet, but some time in the first half of this year).
