Hey guys. As we dropped IE6/7 permutation, we started to see more incidents related to unsupported browsers.
Currently, when a browser is unsupported (incl IE compatibility modes), GWT falls back to gecko1_8. The problem is Firefox itself has its own bugs and we have workarounds for those that will usually break the app in an other browser. Instead of relying gecko1_8 as the fallback permutation, perhaps we can provide a specific permutation for unsupported browsers. With this permutation, most of the we can provide the standard implementation in deferred bindings. The biggest advantage of this is, the app can handle it in a way they see appropriate; e.g. provide an early shortcut to show a warning page. Also another thing we might want to do is to make sure that an IE permutation is used for the legacy browsers; IE8 would be a much better match than gecko for IE6/7 and any compatibility mode. Anyway, I would love to hear your input on this. - Goktug -- http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Contributors" group.
