If you haven't already done so, you might increase your fee by a significant amount for having to spin your wheels supporting IE 5.5. Whatever work needs to be done is going to take lots of extra time because you'll have to write everything in plain JS with little support for new functionality.
I wouldn't have taken the gig personally. Life is too short supporting software that's been outdated for almost 8 years, and wasn't that good to begin with. andy -----Original Message----- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:jquery...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of James Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2009 2:56 PM To: jQuery (English) Subject: [jQuery] Re: jQuery 1.3.2 in IE5.5 Are you serious? I guess you're just going to have to give them the reality of the fact that that's the way it is. Things aren't going to work as expected with legacy software. Is IE5.5 the only browser you have to design for, or just one that you also have to accommodate for?
