Hmmm thats a good point... really... IE7 has just reminded me of the Jeefo Virus, it sits in the background and messes with stuff and in some ways it was better than IE7 for the pure fact that i knew what it was up to and my IE6 still worked... do you think Nortons has an update to get rid of IE7?

Mmm - probably not. I think the main difference is that at least some thought has gone into producing the virus.

As an aside, how would you then get rid of Norton?

I'm sick to death of the Autofill facility changing the colours of my forms or, better still, turning a hidden text box into a clearly visible, bright pink one. It even did that to a form because of a sentence two paragraphs above the form. As soon as I deleted that sentence it worked.

If we produce websites which have broken links, don't comply with standards or are just plain crappy, we get kicked off.

Better go before the rant sets in!

I agree with you there, except that in this case Google is backing them, and everybody trusts Google...or at least I imagine so.

Also, I'd like to point out for anyone under the impression that IE7 causes highlighted form fields...it doesn't do that...spousal abuse maybe, but not the form fields...it's the Google toolbar doing that.

For the record I use IE6 because I don't like tabbed browsing, but have FF and a few other minor browsers installed just to check what my site looks like to everyone.
