How many versions of IE do we support? #6

Open jeffbaumes opened 9 years ago

I have checked several widths, mobile, etc., but I am unsure how far back in IE versions the site supports.

IE9 - ok, IE8 - not too bad, IE7 - no arrow, IE6 - Gaaa!

zachmullen commented 9 years ago

Supporting IE6 and having a modern-looking website are mutually exclusive prospects :)

cpatrick commented 9 years ago

I think that supporting IE6 would take away some of our credibility...

jeffbaumes commented 9 years ago

kitware.com itself does not look so hot on IE6 so I think we are safe there. Also didn't realize things were getting this good: <1% everywhere except China

I love that Microsoft runs that site.

jeffbaumes commented 9 years ago

Because we don't totally break until IE6, I think we are good for now.

zachmullen commented 9 years ago

The <section> tag is not supported in IE8 and below, if we care we could change those to divs.

zachmullen commented 9 years ago

Same with <header>.

jeffbaumes commented 9 years ago

I'm good with those small changes.

jeffbaumes commented 9 years ago

Can someone with access to IE8 make this change and confirm it helps the display of the page? Perhaps @manthey?

On IE8 (under a Windows 7 virtualbox), on first load the site fails to show the <i> elements (like the font -awesome fonts aren't loaded). If I reload the page, they show up properly. Naturally, some of the links won't work in IE8 (like Minerva Taxi). I'm using VirtualBox images from https://dev.modern.ie/tools/vms/windows/.
