Exactly. Also, two things: 1. Can we stop with the silly M$ nomenclature? We're not script kiddies with an axe to grind.
2. Again, building an advanced web application does not mean forgetting the lessons of progressive enhancement. Using advanced features of newer browsers does not preclude partial support (i.e., IE6 in a usable state) for older browsers. Obviously, the support matrix for #2 is dependent on the specific context and goals of the application, but that matrix is not something jQuery should dictate without good reason. -- dz On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 12:52 PM, ajpiano<ajpi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > It has been repeatedly stated that jQuery has NO plans to drop support > for IE7, and that pretty much everything in jQuery that is there for > IE7 also is there for IE6, meaning that support for the two pretty > much comes in tandem.
