don't take current Acid2 test results as any use. Of course, after the Acid2 test was released, some browsers went and systematically fixed those particular issues, but of course, the rest of CSS is still a mess. If you want to find the browser with the best standards support, you'll do best to look to the renders from browsers BEFORE the Acid2 test was released.

You're right - I used the original Acid on IE, Firefox and Opera and Opera was the closest to the target render.

Once Firefox changed to 1.5 I ran the test again, and Firefox looked much closer to the target render.

Acid 3 will fix what you mention - and we will be able to see who really followed the specs and who just patched the browser's CSS to handle Acid2.

And of course, IE will still fail. (It did before, and it does now!)

I remember Firefox being closest to the target render. But my memory may be gone. The difference was minimal but it looks much bigger now since there has been very lttle improvement in the rendering engine since Firefox 1.0 (That's happening in 3.0 with the upgrade to Gecko 1.9)

By the way, Safari was the first browser to fully support Acid2, and konqueror was second (but given they are both based on the same rendering engine, I'm not sure that counts. Opera was the third.
