IE8

Herby Vojčík
Hello!

Amber now passes all tests in IE8 (I made a few fixes).

You must, though, enforce use of jQuery 1 for your project to be
IE8-compatible. You can accomplish this easily by running:

   bower install "jquery#^1" --save

in your project root (parentheses needed, otherwise ^ character is lost
on Windows).

Great to see Amber compatibility expanded to the 5 year old IE8

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_8

I understand that after

     amber init

I have to do

    bower install "jquery#^1" --save

to create a IE8 compatible project.


I have added the IE8 compatibility feature to

The WP entry states

<citation>
Internet Explorer 8 is the first version of IE to pass the Acid2 test,
and the last of the major browsers to do so, although it scores only
20/100 on the Acid3 Test.
</citation>

Interesting to note  that seemingly this 20 out of 100 Acid3 point are
sufficient to run the Amber IDEs...

It wasn't expanded, it was always there. Just new features sometimes break it (that's why it would be great to have automatic tests run in the hrowser as well (the issue is already there)). No point for adding IE8 to the roadmap.

Not only that, you must also run

  amber devel

to regenerate mappings. Different jQuery version likely means different paths for jquery file (as there are two alternatives).

BTW if you think this is something that is interesting to wider percentage of users, you can add it as a question into the grunt-init-amber and generate that line in bower.json based on the answer (the default being no).

OK, it is about 're-establishing IE8 compatibility'.

Yes, we need automatic tests for this...

Which issue is about this?

The question is, how much point would it get should crossbrowser issues
solved by jQuery and es5-shim be taken into account...

BTW it would be good to have such a test - do not test bare browser,
test what the browser is capable when common shims are applied and DOM
is manipulated by jQuery.
