The following tables compare general and technical information for a number of browser synchronizers

A Web cache sits between one or more Web servers (also known as origin servers) and a client or many clients, and watches requests come by, saving copies of the responses — like HTML pages, images and files (collectively known as representations) — for itself. Then, if there is another request for the same URL, it can use the response that it has, instead of asking the origin server for it again.

Caching is a great example of the ubiquitous time-space tradeoff in programming. You can save time by using space to store results. In the case of websites, the browser can save a copy of images, stylesheets, javascript or the entire page. The next time the user needs that resource (such as a script or logo that appears on every page), the browser doesn’t have to download it again. Fewer downloads means a faster, happier site.

In the second part of his series, Simon Griffin delves into the specifics of what IE7 means for your page content and styling.

Ever wanted to test your website in various versions of Internet Explorer? It is possible to run Internet Explorer in standalone mode without having to over-write previous versions thanks to Joe Maddalone who came up with a way of achieving that in November 2003. Basically, Internet Explorer is run by exploiting a known workaround to DLL hell - which was introduced in Windows 2000 and later versions - called DLL redirection. Manfred Staudinger perfected the standalone versions by adding IE version numbers to the title bar of the standalone browser window. Moreover, by removing the "IE" key in the registry subkey [HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftInternet ExplorerVersion Vector] Internet Explore defaulted to respecting conditional comments based on the version number prebuilt in the program. It is not difficult to follow the instructions and get any version of IE running in standalone along side other versions. Most of you probably know of evolt's archive of Internet Explorer which has them readily packaged in ZIP files. Now suppose you want to download them all. An installer that would conveniently automate the whole process would be great. Thanks to this comment for the idea. So I made an installer which contains IE3 IE4.01 IE5 IE5.5 and IE6

Multiple versions of Explorer for Windows on a single computer have revolutionized CSS bug testing for websites, but sadly the different IE browser windows appear identical to the eye, potentially leading to confusion and testing mistakes. Also, Microsoft's proprietary Conditional Comments don't operate properly on these standalones, making advanced usage of CC's a guessing game. These problems have now been resolved! But first, a little background regarding the standalones.

Now that IE7 has been released and has begun to penetrate into the userbase, it won't be too long before we can start using more advanced CSS in our pages. Two of the most useful items will be the Child and Adjacent Sibling combinators. These were briefly covered in a couple of Adrian Senior's articles on the Child combinator and Sibling combinator. But now that it is about to become feasible to use them for real web pages, it is time to delve more deeply into the subject.

Les commentaires conditionnels sont de plus en plus souvent utilisés comme substituts aux hacks CSS afin de gérer les défauts d'implémentation CSS d'IE 5.x et 6.0 Windows.

Voici un rappel des différentes possibilités offertes par ces commentaires et des syntaxes à utiliser dans le contexte de documents HTML et XHTML1.0 traités en tant que text/html.
