Internet Explorer 7 is now running on one of our home computers. The most obvious change is that it does tabbed browsing, which is something that Firefox users already do. Another addition is that IE finally reliably displays “favicons.”
A favicon is a mini-icon that appears in the address field of a browser. I’ve just added a favicon to DogRat.com. This is how it appears in IE7.
Nice! Just as I wanted it. So yay to that much about IE7. But I’m sorry to say it screws up something else. It’s cropping the bottom of the site title.
Boo! Perhaps I need to edit the style sheet, or maybe Microsoft has done something for which there is no easy workaround. I’ll look into it, but not today.
