I know Dean Edwards has already been named here twice "man of the week". He just mailed me to get it for the third time today 
And trust me, it's well deserved.... DO YOU WANT TO HAVE THE FOLLOWING FEATURES IN INTERNET EXPLORER?
- namespace|selector
- :first-child, :last-child
- generic :hover, :active, :focus
- attribute selectors [attr], [attr="value"], [attr~="value"]
- childhood combinator parent > child
- direct and indirect adjacent combinators + and ~
- :root
Then check this out, it's really amazing. Well done, Dean. A great example of behavioral extensions.

Impressionant. Faut qu'il arrete, il va mettre les developpeurs de MS au chomage
Cool, I guess.
But why would I or anyone else be using Internet explorer?
That's not really the point, Jed. The idea here is that you can use the more advanced CSS selectors and not have to worry about whether it will degrade gracefully in Internet Explorer, because it will actually -work-.
This is the greatest news I've heard in a very, very long time, Daniel. I thank you very much for bringing it to my attention.
My bad, I understood that is was a hack that would only work on your local version of IE.
This is very, very impressive!
Thanks for the link Daniel!
No more hackish CSS tricks ?
Go Dean, go !
Really, this Dean guy kicks ass.
Oh non de bleu !
Je dois dire que je suis sur le c*l.
Ce truc la c'est la reponse ultime a tout plein de problemes. Ca serait envisageable d'ajouter egalement toutes les fonctions js du DOM ?
Quand je pense que ce mois-ci un certain torchon en vente en librairie vante son article "Faites d'Internet Explorer une cyberforteresse" où l'on conseille de greffer à MSIE une tonne de softs à la noix alors qu'il suffit simplement d'utiliser un autre navigateur...
90% of the world uses IE!!!
Dean Edwards for president!
