Useful discussions on good forums typically involve an opening post/email that consists of more than a single link to a single undiscussed image. > Which in turn is important for this forum, since this issue is taking > a lot of time and effort since currently jQuery has to support IE6 and > other legacy browsers. As long as jQuery supports IE7, I don't see any reason to drop IE6. IIRC, John's said several times that in terms of javascript support, there's not much difference between IE6 and IE7 -- as such, I don't really see the appeal of removing IE6 support whilst keeping IE7 support. > While in the same time we can (almost) forget about legacy browsers > and enjoy modern web applications. > Probably the only other way will be to simply ignore IE6 and similar, > which we can not do right now. This is a false dichotomy. Many applications and websites take advantage of modern browsers while still maintaining support for IE6. The concept of progressive enhancement does not disappear with modern web applications. -- dz --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
