My entry in this discussion timestamped Aug 20, 09:05 pm, should be clear enough. But after that discussion meandered into some (wilder) proposals and ideas, so the core concept became somehow mooted, admitedly.
Let me try and recap. Proposal 1 :: Use JScript conditional compilation in order to have IE and non IE , jQuery versions (this is: 2 versions only). It is still one file and the jQuery file naming is unchanged. Proposal 2 :: Use (IE) conditional HTML feature. Basic example : <![if !IE]> <script src="jquery.2.js" ></script> <![else]> <script src="jquery.2.for_IE.js" ></script> <![endif]> In the case of Proposal 2. One will have two or more jQuery files. Minimal will be one for "everybody else" and one for IE browsers. Or more than one for IE6,7,8 etc... Summary These proposals are abut jQuery for IE vs jQuery for others. Conceptually only 2 versions. None of the above is very new. CSS community example : http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/multiIE.html It is possible to use Proposal 2 and conditional compilation (Proposal 1) mixed-in. But not necessary. My intent Develop simpler, faster and more stable jQuery. This kind of delivery, would show measurable benefits (in spead increase and stability). It's a "no brainer": Imagine jQuery with zero IE workarounds inside. --DBJ On Aug 28, 2:52 pm, Andrea Giammarchi <andrea.giammar...@gmail.com> wrote: > Actually, you can use IE conditional comment to exclude IE from conditional > comments > > /*...@cc_on // @*/ alert("only NON IE browsers"); > > but I agree that run-time is not the best option, that is why I have asked. > > Regards > > On Fri, Aug 28, 2009 at 12:02 PM, Bram Stein <b.l.st...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > I'm not a big fan of JScript conditional comments as they seem to be > > an IE only feature and still add extra overhead during run time. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
