Yes, as some of you already mentioned, i did not bring this up to start a discussion about reasons to support/not support a specific browser.
I sincerely just want to use Bootstrap AND have a requirement based on a LOT of IE 6 users. Based on these conditions, i get the objective answer that it is not thought into Bootstrap. Which is completely fair -- why bother when you dont have the same requirement as I have :) Jus one clarification: By IE6 support, i don't strive for pixel-perfect, responsive, gradient, round-corner visual issues. But more if there is a way to make IE6 show the components fairly reasonable. >From my quick views the other day, the thing worst off is probably the 12 column grid.... Breaks layout completely in IE6. (not sure why...could be the display: table - part for each row) Please post more in case some of you reading this has additional info on IE6 findings, quirks, workarounds, etc.. Thanks for the heads up and quick responses. I hope to contribute with findings in case its possible for me to bridge the IE6 gap :) /Jesper On Monday, March 5, 2012 8:47:38 PM UTC+1, Bill Lazar wrote: > > And that was the official answer I mentioned. > > On Mar 5, 2012, at 11:44 AM, Joshua Miller wrote: > > > Yea but he's asking for support on something that doesn't work with > > css3/html5 which bootstrap is based on.
