Oh, the irony... the new jQuery website layout is completely borked in IE 8. So much for cross-browser compatibility.
On a different note, I love how they have Stack Overflow listed in their "support" links. It's also cool that they're pushing CDN usage of jQuery more than the download version (based on relative space given to each on the home page).
- dscrd 14y agoIE8 was released in March 2009. On that year, chromium 2.0 and firefox 3.5. Did you test it on those too?
- randomdrake 14y agoIE 8 still holds around 15-20% browser share last I checked. For something as ubiquitous and oft-used as jQuery, it is surprising it wasn't tested.
- SG- 14y agoIE8 likely doesn't hold 15-20% browser share on jquery.com.
- eykanal 14y agoThis is Microsoft XP's latest version of IE, as 9 and 10 don't run on XP. Note that XP is still ridiculously prevalent, particularly in large corporations: http://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=10&qpcustomd=0 http://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share....
- randomdrake 14y agoIt's woefully lazy for developers to not do cross-browser and cross-device testing. The site looks awful on iPad as well. If you don't have access to a device or browser, find someone who does or simulate it. I expect more from the jQuery team.

- stellar678 14y agoLegit criticism I guess. However, the audience addressed by the jQuery website is definitely not the same as the audience addressed by websites using the jQuery library. And the jQuery library is thoroughly tested against tons of browsers.
- aviraldg 14y agoPossibly based on the implicit assumption that there's no intersection between the set of people who use jQuery ie. developers and designers (who are sane enough not to use IE) and the set of people who use IE.
- jrajav 14y agoYep, you're partially right: http://imgur.com/vFTvFTP http://imgur.com/vFTvFTP However, it's worth noting that it works fine in IE8 if you have it set to IE8 Standards mode. (http://imgur.com/GEuyx8X http://imgur.com/GEuyx8X) I'm sure that, like me, you had it set to IE7 Standards mode for testing purposes. Even jQuery itself no longer supports IE7.
- jrochkind1 14y agoIt is a misconception that JQuery no longer supports IE7. > First of all, let’s be very clear: The jQuery team does “worry about” IE 6/7/8, with jQuery 1.9. We’ve created a legacy-free jQuery 2.0 in order to address the many situations where older versions of IE aren’t needed. Some glorious day in the future, jQuery 2.0 will be the only version you’ll need; until then we’ll continue to maintain jQuery 1.9. http://blog.jquery.com/2013/01/14/the-state-of-jquery-2013/ http://blog.jquery.com/2013/01/14/the-state-of-jquery-2013/
- lobo_tuerto 14y agoYou sure? From: http://jquery.com/browser-support/ http://jquery.com/browser-support/ jQuery 1.x IE 6+ jQuery 2.x IE 9+ "Any problem with jQuery in the above browsers should be considered and reported as a bug in jQuery."
- jrajav 14y agoSorry, I misspoke. I meant to say that they no longer support IE7 (or apparently IE8) going forward with the new version, 2.x.
- jenius 14y agoIt also looks like total junk on a retina screen and the responsiveness is there but very lazily done...
