Hey Ed -- what browser are you using? Most modern browsers with the exception of IE8 should work; if not there's something wrong on my end. The majority of my market uses an HTML5 compliant browser, so it hasn't been a major issue in the past.
I would love to get your thoughts though. If you don't remember, you can expect an email from me later today :)
- jasonkester 16y agoWhy not simply support IE8? It's not any harder than, say, supporting FireFox. Cross browser stuff is really really easy now that you don't have to worry about IE6 anymore. Give it a shot.
- matt1 16y agoYes, it is harder than supporting Firefox. Lean Designs makes heavy use of the canvas element and it would be impossible to implement on a browser like IE8 that doesn't support it. There are libraries like excanvas which help, but they're very limited (no toDataURL() and the like). In order to support IE8 I'd have to severely limit what the app can do. Since this isn't an issue for 95%+ of the people visiting the site, it doesn't make sense to support it.
- keen 16y agoI can sympathize with not wanting to support IE 8, but I reckon in almost all cases it's worth it.
