I'll try to clean it up, add some tests and post a patch this week.

view it.

The WebKit project generally tries to provide IE compatibility as long as it

If you find specific issues (that affect popular web sites), please file bugs. 
If you'd like to start hacking on WebKit, please see this page for more
