Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 released!
- What will this mean to you as an EPiServer developer or user?

Microsoft have just launched the latest version of Internet Explorer and IE6 will swiftly be replaced with IE7 all over the world through an automatic update: have you tested your site against the new version?

Whenever a web browser is upgraded to a new version, it is always a good idea to download the latest release as soon as possible and test your site extensively. Although no functionality in the EPiServer framework should cause problems with this new version, some handling of style sheets might make pages appear differently.

The EPiServer Edit and Admin Mode

We have noted a few issues regarding style sheets in our templates and some minor changes in the Edit and Admin mode. These are currently being addressed by our developer team and new style sheets which correct this are available at the EPiServer Knowledge Center for downloading.

Contact your EPiServer partner, and they will help you to go through your Web Site and make it fully functional in Internet Explorer 7.

Benefiting from CSS layout!

When creating content for the Web, adhering to Web accessibility guidelines is becoming increasingly important. While accessibility is mainly concerned with making the content available to anyone, regardless of any disabilities, using the recommended methods. EPiServer offers a number of tools to facilitate the correct use of CSS rules and element mark-up; for instance when formatting text, inserting images and working with tables.
