Hi,
I found this:
http://arstechnica.com/information-tech ... 6-7-and-8/
in CMSMS, jquery is being used more and more lately, for good reasons.
What is your idea on this?
Pressure on MS or . . . ?
Kind regards,

Re: jquery to drop IE 6-7-8 support
I don't see it as pressure on MS, MS is trying to get rid of those browser as well, but there are still many XP user around and the "regular guy around the corner" doesn't probably know about anything else but IE and as old software at some point simply gets limited there is no reason pushing IE9 or IE10 upgrade to XP.
So yeah it's nice in a way that some "big names" are dropping support but we still have to find excuse for our clients when demonstarting some functionality in their company and suddenly "kaboom" you face XP with IE7 installed

Hi,
XP will be there for a long time. I see here (austria too) even Win2000 systems. Using statistics even over 10% IE6 users are there which is more then the 1.5% of ipad/iphone users.
IE9 and 10 will only work on win7 they do not exist for XP.
The only problem that will come, is that (again) we must explain customers that this or that functionality is not available for this or that browser. Where are the webstandards defined by the W3C there?
Even now if you want to gain access to the zoomfuction of the browser, Firefox 13 will forbid that, but IE and chrome allow it leaving us with nothing but to make browser-specific code.
Ipads that do not play flash, is another problem, it seems that some big players like apple are trying to break the net, they announced that support for googlemaps will soon be blocked as well.
Is this the futere of the internet?
Kind regards,
Jan
