[Bug 2074] PNG transparency fixes for IE users
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2074 --- Comment #23 from Erwin Dokter er...@darcoury.nl 2010-12-18 00:55:52 UTC --- That basically uses the same technique (the DXTransform filter) as the current javascript on en: does, so it bumps into the same limitations. The en: script handles borders through the use of extra divs, which is not elegant. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2074 Erwin Dokter er...@darcoury.nl changed: What|Removed |Added Status|REOPENED|RESOLVED Resolution||WONTFIX --- Comment #24 from Erwin Dokter er...@darcoury.nl 2010-12-18 01:11:05 UTC --- Current market share of IE6 as of November 2010 is... 4.1% and dropping fast. (source: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp) I am closing this bug. It is obvious a native solution is too complicated due to the filter's limitations; It would have to serve a different HTML structure to IE6 to circumvent these limitation just to handle PNGs, as is apparent with the javascript in use on en.wikipedia.org. This is not worth the effort to build a server-side solution into MediaWiki. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

Otherwise the links will likely be un-clickable. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

That leaves client-side javascript, which has it's minor shortcomings, such as handling borders. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

If someone wants to write and test a patch for this, I'd be okay with seeing it committed. Once IE6 really has such negligible market share that we're not interested in even accepting a patch is when we should mark this WONTFIX. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

It's used on every other Wikipedia and probably tens of thousands or more of other wikis. Do not mark bugs as fixed unless a fix has been committed to the MediaWiki software, to be deployed to *all* wikis that use it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

It is highly unlikely that a *native* solution will ever be implemented, considering the age of IE6.

I wouldn't object to that, given its obsolescence (and they tend to have performance issues AFAIK), but I'd like to hear from a couple other developers before WONTFIXing. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.
