IE9 Beta release - MS Event

Recently - 19 Sep 2010, I attended at Microsoft event dedicated to IE9 Beta release. The meeting was at Raanana's customer center of Microsoft Israel.

The primary discussion points were:
- IE8 usage and changes in comparison to IE6 and IE7
- JavaScript changes and compatibility issues
- cross domain requests and AJAX
- IE9 improvements and standard compliance
- HTML5

The presenters were Noam King and Moshe Goldberg from SELA Group. Noam introduced the meeting agenda, where Moshe dedicated almost all the time to differences between IE8 and previous version of browser.
The presentation was done in IE9 and present auditory was able to feel the spirit of IE9. There were few funny moments. The IE9 non actually friendly to Visual studio developer and required multiple refreshes to actually see the content. Some MS sites not actually working with IE9. The presenters (MS related guys) always refer to Google search engine - not BING.

Certainly the IE9 has a future but for now it's beta and we understand the glitches ...

The code and presentation files are available from this page.

Summary and definition for CSS position modificator:

The content of a relatively positioned elements can be moved and overlap other elements, but the reserved space for the element is still preserved in the normal flow.
relative
-

absolute
- An absolute position element is positioned relative to the first parent element that has a position other than static. If no such element is found, the containing block is <html>. Absolutely positioned elements are removed from the normal flow. The document and other elements behave like the absolutely positioned element does not exist. Absolutely positioned elements can overlap other elements.
