IE8 compatibility issue - looks a compatibility issue of d3.js with IE8 that leaves JIRA frozen #20

Having foresight installed in JIRA and accessed in IE8, there are javascript errors in the console. Please have a look at attached screenshot. It looks a compatibility issue of d3.js with IE8 that leaves JIRA frozen. A possible fix is to include a shim.

Thanks Mukul

Hey mukulobject,

It is most likely a problem with d3 indeed. I had a link to their browser support section on github on foresight's atlassian marketplace page but it got deleted accidently when I uploaded the last update (0.8.1).

Here's the link : https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki#browser-support

Link is back on the marketplace also.

I don't really want to work around d3 as the whole add-on is simply a thin layer over it but if the whole page is freezing under IE8 it might be an issue. If that's the case I might simply show an error message in the tab under IE 8.

So, can you confirm that the whole page is freezing on load or when clicking the "dependencies" tab?

Appreciate the feedback.

In Jira 6.3 IE8 is no longer supported.

The d3.tip() function is overridden and is undefined when foresight plugin is enabled. This leads the d3 library to result an error.
