I'm not intending to spread misinformation, and my comparison doesn't fall apart. My reason for even mentioning jquery is to illustrate the trend of influential stakeholders to move past support for old IE. Even my personal example doesn't involve dropping IE8 cold turkey, but that the wind is c

Let's not forget that Google has a business case for dropping IE8 support. Alerting folks to their old browser could (in SEO terms) turn into Chrome conversions. -Sean On 2/19/13 12:22 PM, "Eric Phetteplace" wrote: > I guess my general philosophy is that, for any browser with a decent market >

I guess my general philosophy is that, for any browser with a decent market share (>1% ish), it's my responsibility that the website *works*. It is not my responsibility to make it look the same or run as fast in every browser, which means IE 8 can get flat colors instead of gradients or a fallback

jQuery 2.x will support IE 9+ . Jonathan is correct that 1.x will continue to support IE 6+ and there are techniques to deliver the older version of jQuery to older browsers if the developer deems it necessary. http://jquery.com/browser-support/ However, I think Michael is in good company in thin

Keep in mind that many old-IE users are there because their corporate/gov entity requires it. Our entire univeristy health/hospital complex, for example, was on IE6 until...last year, maybe?... because they had several critical pieces of software written as active-x components that only ran in IE6.
