How much money can my business afford to lose on a point of principle that no-one else in the company would ascribe any value to whatsoever? Not much. The decision obviously takes into account time spent catering for older browsers, but jQuery eases the problem - at the moment. As a very rough guide, it seems sensible to cater for any browser version representing at least 1% of traffic; IE8 currently represents over 20% for us, so it's nowhere near getting dropped, unfortunately.
- nbouscal 14y ago1%? That seems like an unreasonably low threshold. If 1% of your traffic requires even 5% of your development time, you're getting negative value from that time. I probably wouldn't drop it at 20% either, but I would long before 1%.
