Microsoft has done it again by releasing a tool that doesn't follow W3C CSS standards.  Explorer 7.0 translates CSS (the style, image placement, and font definitions) differently than most other browsers.  This means your site may look different or not work at all in Explorer 7.0. 

This revelation may not be as devastating if Microsoft decided to release this browser as an optional upgrade.  Unfortunately, Microsoft has decided to add this upgrade to the Critical Updates.  This means that everyone could be converted to this new tool within a month.

Website owners and operators need to be ready for this change before it affects revenue.

Just like any design crisis, you are not alone.  Many developers and website owners have been prepairing for this switch over, ever since the Beta release of Explorer 7.  This means that there is help out there in the form of message boards and experianced developers.  One solution fixes the Mambo Menu Error in the following message board entry:

Not all solutions are available online, and may take trial and error, or an experiance developer to solve.  As always our development team is available for consultation.

Explorer 7.0 has many changes including the addition of tabs, additional security features, and the change to the look and feel.  These changes might affect your site in other ways not just design.  We suggest you test all aspects of your site with Explorer 7.0 to insure against hidden surprises.

Just one more reason everyone should switch to Firefox.
