CSS Support: Mozilla vs. IE

[septiroth]

I have a friendly arguement with a co-worker about which browser supports CSS better, IE or Mozilla.
I need a good article or list of unsupported functions of each browser...i couldnt seem to find a good resource on this...

Thanks alot...Jonathan

IE's interpretation of the box model is funky...

Both browsers support CSS1, although IE's is somewhat buggy. CSS2 is completely unsupported by IE.

Edit: Look at this site in both IE and Mozilla for an example.

If you're doing your layouts with tables and just want to use some light CSS1 for styles, then as far as you're concerned IE and Mozilla will be identical. However, if you want to do anything cool with CSS, one of those browsers quickly shows its limitations (hint: it ain't Mozilla ).

so what im getting is that CSS2 is completely unavailable to IE

hehehehe
thanks, this is just what I needed.

Uh, that site is not very complete (no Mozilla listed) and does not reflect reality very well. On paper, IE "supports" most of CSS2, but if you have actually tried to use CSS2 in IE, you may have a different impression. Especially if you've tried to do something that mimicks this.

on that page you just posted...'slantastic' breaks pretty bad, but the main page loads ok
that site is pretty good, as it has some good CSS testing so i can break his IE baby in front of him!!
mwa haha

Almost every cool CSS trick (done the correct way) that works perfectly in Mozilla almost always need certain hacks for it to display properly in IE. IE.. ugh! At least it's better than Netscape though.. wonder why people are still using this PoS.

IE 6 supports some CSS 2, but Mozilla, Opera, and Safari all support more. IE will hold back the progress of CSS design for years because of its wide usage. Very Frustrating state of affairs for us CSS adicts.
