Opera passes Acid2
This week’s build of Opera 9 passes the Acid2 test as the second browser — only beat by Safari
iCab and Konqueror themseleves claim to pass Acid2, but make a small mistake by displaying a scrollbar when they should not, according to this CSS rule:
html { font: 12px sans-serif; margin: 0; padding: 0; overflow: hidden; /* hides scrollbars on viewport, see 11.1.1:3 */ background: white; color: red; }

I think browsers are still allowed to show the scrollbar though, are they not?

The specifications seem rather clear on that. When “overflow: hidden” is used the browser should not display a scrollbar wheras with “overflow: scroll” it should always display a scrollbar.

Yeah, that seems rather odd to me. While it seems ok for the CSS specification to talk about the UI within a UA it seems inappropriate to dictate what UAs should do in such situations in such detail. Anyway, there is nothing in the specification currently that would back up my earlier statement.

I heard about this awhile ago but I always knew it would not have any problem passing!

I’ve blogged here why hiding the scrollbars is not strictly necessary to pass Acid2.
