Ah, thanks for the tip! That's very helpful.
And there's good news: it seems that IE8 returns an empty string (where
IE7 returns null) when Exhibit calls getAttribute on an element with a
non-existent attribute. So, what we need to fix is the
Exhibit.getAttribute function. For now, you can add this Javascript code
after including exhibit-api.js.
<script>
Exhibit.getAttribute = function(elmt, name, splitOn) {
try {
var value = elmt.getAttribute(name);
if (value == null || value.length == 0) { // previously:
if (value == null) {
value = elmt.getAttribute("ex:" + name);
}
if (splitOn == null) {
return value;
}
var values = value.split(splitOn);
for (var i = 0; value = values[i]; i++) {
values[i] = value.trim();
}
return values;
} catch(e) {
return null;
}
};
</script>
This code makes this exhibit
http://people.csail.mit.edu/dfhuynh/misc/nobelists/nobelists.html
work on IE8 for me.
Please give that exhibit a try on your IE8. Thanks!
David
