IE8 Compatibility Issues #94

Open junderhill opened 10 years ago

junderhill commented 10 years ago

Balloons IO is unusable from within Internet Explorer 8. When entering a chat room multiple javascript errors are encountered and the styling is completely distorted. See screenshots:

The javascript issues seem to be coming from within the jQuery libraries however I'm guessing this isn't where the origin of the issue lies.

So... for what I'm seeing seems to be an error with jQuery. Odd.

A little more about the log would be awesome!

Q: do you have access to IE9 or IE10, in order to have a "console" tab that logs javascript ouptputs and errors? Any of those can be set to Browser mode: IE8 and still have IE9 and IE10 tools that could help us debugging this.

Thanks!

Yeh of course.

From within IE10 set to IE8 mode, the error on the console is as follows:

SCRIPT65535: Unexpected call to method or property access.
jquery.min.js, line 3 character 31871

However using the call stack I've narrowed it down to within js/script.js

I'll carry on trying to figure a solution as and when I can. Let me know if you manage to sort something before I do.

Thanks

Awesome!

I'd try first updating some of the libs used. jQuery@1.7.1 is way out of date. Also ICanHaz, but starting with jQuery should throw different, IMO.

Thanks!
