Tutorial won't open #70

Closed VVH closed 9 years ago

VVH commented 9 years ago

Several users found that the tutorial didn't open. I assume this was in browsers other than Chrome.

rogerhutchings commented 9 years ago

It works in Chrome, FF and Safari - we need a Windows machine around for testing IE, really.

I've got a bunch of (slightly old) VMs from modern.ie if you need something tested quickly.

rogerhutchings commented 9 years ago

I'd forgotten about modern.ie - I can download them now. How far back do we need to support @eatyourgreens?

eatyourgreens commented 9 years ago

Probably IE9 or 10. Found out yesterday that NHM mostly runs IE8 internally, so lots of 'All I get is a black screen' from people visiting orchidobservers.org

rogerhutchings commented 9 years ago

Shouldn't we be stating outright which browsers we support?

eatyourgreens commented 9 years ago

For OWD I did a bunch of try/catch blocks with a generic "your browser is not supported" modal dialog. https://github.com/zooniverse/Diaries/blob/master/app/main.coffee OWD worked in IE8 when we launched it. I think somewhere along the line, jQuery dropped IE8 support so that went away in an update. Much prefer to test for code support than track browser versions.
