IE9 Platform Preview 3


Dean Hachamovitch: Our continued ask, is that you download the latest preview, try the samples on the test drive site, and try your own sites. Send IE9 the same markup that you give to other browsers.

Much improvement (in particular, SVG width, height, and clipPath seem to be supported now).  One issue, which is rather glaringly obvious.  I have a background watermark tucked away in the lower right hand corder of the page.  Or, rather, it is intended to be tucked away in the lower right hand corner, and renders as such in Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and Opera.  In the latest IE9, it is centered and spans the entire window.

I see that the user agent is now Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/5.0) and the accept header is now text/html, application/xhtml+xml, */*.  With these changes, I can retire a number of my workarounds.  Much appreciated.
