Microsoft (no, I will not link this one) have shipped a beta of Internet Explorer 7 . It looks quite funky and requires XP SP2 to run. The catch is that it actually replaces your old MSIE6 (hey we all want that), which can be a real issue for testing. You can install the MSIE6 standalone alongside, but allegedly this might cause problems.

Therefore it might be best to install the MSIE 7 standalone version instead.

As for taking the new shiny MSIE for a ride, there is a test case collection going on at the CSS discuss wiki.

Digital Web just released the first part of a new two part article of mine entitled Seven Accessibility Mistakes .
In it I am listing mistakes I have encountered in the past (and done some of them) and give tips how to avoid them in the future.

Some of these tips might be utopic for you to achieve, but I for one am up for the challenge.

I’ll be moving to a newer, faster and better connected server soon, so there might be some downtime and hickups. I apologise profusely in advance.

I got asked to set this up as a proof of concept for an upcoming project, and it might be helpful to you guys, too:

Previewing collated form data with DOMscripting

The code is a bit wooly at the moment and I will clean it up and explain a bit more if I get the time.
In the meantime, just give it a swirl.

Google have released some statistics on web pages they have analysed:

In December 2005 we did an analysis of a sample of slightly over a billion documents, extracting information about popular class names, elements, attributes, and related metadata. The results we found are available below. We hope this is of use!

I would very much say so, so have a read about Google code webstats

Another Firefox extension I hadn’t known of earlier is Firebug which put together the best of JS console and the DOM inspector and even shows you your XMLhttpRequest data!
