Internet Explorer lagged behind a lot of Web browsers in the past. That is about to change in the next iteration of this ubiquitous browser from Microsoft. The new Internet Explorer will include a lot of new features and will be more standards compliant.
Internet Explorer used to be a pain for many Web developers and designers. It has a lot of quirks that a programmer needs to account for. Normally, you create your webpages using standards-compliant code and then tweak it so that surfers using the old Internet Explorer can view your page the way you intended it to be displayed—or at least close to it.
Advances in design are used to be hindered by Internet Explorer. There are some Web technologies and coding techniques that cannot be used or applied simply because Internet Explorer does not support them or supports them improperly. Since a significant number of Web surfers use Internet Explorer, many users could not view your page properly if you add these technologies.
The next version of Internet Explorer is said to be better in terms of standards compliance. This could only be good for users and the Web in general. Welcome, IE.
