[jQuery] IE 5/5.5 compatibility
Hello
We started playing around with JQuery and intend to use it on our
sites (in our experiments we already saw that we can replace whole
scripts with a simple JQuery one-liner - great).
My question is about IE 5/5.5 compatibility. We still have about 5%
users of both browsers combined, and it would be nice if they'd be
supported.
I tested some simple stuff, but so far the tests already failed for $
(document).ready() in IE 5.01 - it's simply never executed, but I do
not receive any errors either (I hope this is not due to my setup, as
a I run a stand-alone version of IE 5 on Windows XP with IE 6 also
installed, but a small check revealed that it seems to report errors).
The same for simple stuff like $("#paneall:visible").slideUp
("normal") - works flawlessly in other browsers but will silently
fail in IE 5. If animation support is a problem to implement in IE 5,
I'd opt for a silent fall-back to the regular show()/hide() behaviour.
Any ideas? Will it help if I look into this myself and try to send
patches, if I manage to?
