IE 8 and Earlier Support #20

Closed michelhabib closed 11 years ago

michelhabib commented 11 years ago

Are we planning to support IE 8 and Earlier? This article shows some restrictions in the way we write AngularJS code. http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/ie

If yes[likely], I will develop and test the front end part keeping the above in mind.

Thanks, Michel.

Michel, How much extra work is required for IE8 functionality? With the global usage around 4%, and and even lower percentage for the progressive clientelle of this application, I would not hesitate to drop IE8 support if it were in any way a 'pain' to write the code differently.

I would default to a chrome-frame prompt for IE8 users.

Phong, for the AngularJS part, it's only a matter of writing the code a little bit differently - no extra work in my opinion [and that was my main concern at this point].

For anything else that relates to the UI, it depends on how the UI will look like, but that's where IE8 Support could be much more effort. dropping that is a relief for any developer :) but it's always better to plan it as early as possible.

sure - then let's go with no IE8 support on all fronts, and use the new methods of javascript implementation.
