Hi,
I briefly mentioned this topic at the Dev Meeting and it was suggested
we discuss it at greater length on list. Apologies for the long post so
in summary, should we still support IE 7?
There were several 'supposed' IE 9 issues found during the bug bash:
MH-9079, MH-9080, MH-9087 and MH-9077. However I could not reproduce any
of these with IE9 in it's default setup. They only appeared if using the
developer tools (Firebug equivalent) to set the browser mode to IE 7
compatible (all issues) or 8 (some). I could confirm some of the issues
on a XP machine running IE 8.
MH-9079, MH-9080 and MH-9087 have been fixed.
MH-9077 only appears in IE7 and is not yet resolved, possible issue with
jQueryUI.
So the current status:
1. MH UI works fine in IE 9 in the default standards mode
2. IE 9 is the current browser for Vista/Win 7
3. IE 8 is the current browser on XP and now works in 1.4rc3
Any Windows based admin should be able to use the latest version of IE
for their OS, therefore IE 8 and 9 should be supported.
The question is whether any end-users are locked into IE 7 and we still
need to support this? Does the entire UI need to support IE 7 or maybe
just the Engage Tools?
I did look on the wiki for browser support levels. The referred to
Yahoo Graded Browser system has been dropped by them and they support
IE6 up as they obvious have to support corporate systems that are
wielded to IE6.
Please keep the "windows sucks" posts to a minimum ;-)
Regards
James
