@Voxera yeah I know, and I'm not doing it or so :D just.. would save some frustrations
IE11 and Edge are quiet good, still some issues, but not every customer of ours uses those latest versions, most use the 9 or older.. And those are the worst -
@BertMaurau 9 is still bearable but older it really starts to loose it.
We fortunately get away with supporting 9+ but there are some features missing. -
@Voxera company runs IE11. It still sucks. Although some of that might have been compatibility mode...
-
@demortes Yes, compatibility mode nullifies many of the improvements to handle old pages that do thing another way if they see IE and does not bother with version or feature checks.
If you need to support older versions there are libraries that offer lots of the newer functionality and that under the hood uses the most recent available features to do it.
