[jQuery] Re: jQuery 1.3.2 in IE5.5
Is it completely unfeasible to install Firefox 1.5 on those PCs (I wonder what hardware these are O.o)? It should work on Win95. Or event a linux distro if it's all browser+docs being done, might be cheaper than taking the time to redo it all without jQuery. Else, first thing to do is get a VM like VirtualBox and get a proper IE5.5 on Win95 install running, debugging on the standalone version will be a nightmare.

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.

[jQuery] Re: jQuery 1.3.2 in IE5.5
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 Life is too short supporting software that's been outdated for almost 8 years, and wasn't that good to begin with.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?

Hi Prototype used to support IE5.5, but I don't know for the current versions. It may be easier than to do everything by hand and workaround weird browser bugs by yourself Rodrigo wrote: Hi everyone!
