Older browser support variable #49

Closed ajmueller closed 10 years ago

ajmueller commented 10 years ago

In light of recent events with the work I've been doing on #47, it seems that we could use something that marks whether you wan to support older browsers or not, notably IE8. There are a few tweaks sprinkled throughout the code that are fixes for IE8 and older (they mostly rely on an "oldie" body class context), but others have surfaced such as the addition of Icomoon-based checkboxes and radio buttons causing selectors.

I propose we have a variable that defines our browser support, but I'm curious what others think about implementation details. Would an IE8 support boolean suffice? I think in most cases it will. For other cases we could look into autoprefixer.

As discussed in the FED meeting today, we will be nixing this idea for now and when the time comes to drop IE8 support, we will remove its specific code and tag that point in time as the last time where IE8 was supported. For additional browser support, autoprefixer is now in use.
