Thank you GoogleGuy and Bjori! I will wait with baited breath (breath that smells like fish bait) to see the results of your great work! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-01-12 05:48:10] [email protected] Patch it please. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-01-12 03:28:01] [email protected] It appears the problem exists in typehead.js and only effects IE8 users, as far as I can tell. I managed to track down the patch from twitter/typehead here https://github.com/twitter/typeahead.js/pull/457/files which details the issue found in PR 457 here https://github.com/twitter/typeahead.js/pull/457 Currently this PR has only been merged, but no release was made since 0.9.3, so we can either patch it manually or wait for the next release to update typehead.js It's a simple fix anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-01-09 07:29:53] TygerGilbert at USAWebAdv dot com cmbecker69@, IMHO it doesn't matter what browser a developer uses to browse the web. It's the users who matter for ANY website, and since there is still a large number of users who still prefer IE-8, a site shouldn't break for them. I think it's called "backward compatibility." I understand that most users of the PHP.net site are developers, but if anything, I think that would make it even more important that PHP.net be the model of compatibility and ease of use in its entirety, particularly since there is no alternative site available. Letting the site behave badly for some older browsers just isn't a good example to set. Maybe I'm too sensitive to the idea of abandoning them because I'm an "old browser" myself at 65 now, but I'm still capable of providing an insight into the attitudes of a that large body of WinXP/IE-8 users who just won't go away yet. That insight can be carried over into a lot of other websites for the developer who is wise enough to listen. Fancy JavaSc! ript functions and exotic page behavior can often be more of detriment to easy use than a benefit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2014-01-09 01:16:52] [email protected] Someone mentioned typeahead.js being a problem somewhere else too.. Maybe that plugin just doesn't like IE8? Adam.. Could you check it out? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
