hm, i admit i've not yet tested v.10 too much, but i wouldn't say it was *completely* standards compliant ; there were some (minor but visible) differences in how opera rendered a few of my sites compared with any other browser.

ha !! i wish all the browser developpers would actually get it together and become COMPLETELY standards compliant (or at least agree to be non-compliant on the same things and in the same way, fachrissake), so that i wouldn't have to hack my nice clean code so my site will work the same on all 3 of the sodding things !

IE 8 is supposed to be the big standards compliance push. I suspect it's about as standards compliant as IE 7 was "secure", but don't use it and can't say from experience.

lord preserve us from IE's idea of "standard compliant".

It doesn't even crash, it just freezes the whole system, and I have to hit the reset switch to regain control.

see, that's the kind of thing that drives me completely MAD.
