When IE7 was released absolutely no changes to JavaScript or HTML happened, IE just became slightly more standards compliant.

AFAIK the big thing in IE7 was that it had tabbed browsing, like FF. And slightly improved js performance, that V8 put to shame a couple of years later.

The actual split between IE6/7 and FF was mainly in the Ajax syntax, not the dom, etc.

My impression from what you're saying is that you didn't program js in the 2000s, did you? I did.

As a matter of fact, I did. But obviously, it seems that we didn't experience the events in the same way and I don't have the impression that you are even trying to understand what I am writing.
