Sparkline not working on IE #129

Open nhathaway opened 9 years ago

The mini graphs to not show up on MS Internet explorer (or Windows phone) using JQuery 2.1.1 and JQuery mobile 1.4.3

A demo of this happening is here: http://87.106.50.71/nhspeed/

(Working OK on Chrome and Firefox, but not IE. Graphs are just below the upload/download speed values during/after the test)

OK, so we need (as used by the JQuery mobile demo pages)

<!DOCTYPE html>

not

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

I notice the demo site uses:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

And the FAQ says use:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

I think what I have calls up "Quirks mode" (default for new pages on Aptana Studio), and my guess is that the FAQ is effectively saying that this prevents it from working in IE. Am I correct?

Maybe that item in the FAQ needs expanding/updating.
