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 p
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. IE6 is a bitch to develop for, we all know
that, but I don't think w
The more advanced web app is , the more difficult its team to support
IE6/7.
M$FT and the rest of us are quickly reaching the point where
supporting IE6/7 is not feasible any more.
When M$FT reaches that point, it will be "game over" for IE6/7.
It is as simple as that.
PS: M$FT is already reachi
To clarify: "run on" does not mean "fully support". Products can and
should have different grades of support. But this does not mean
completely disregarding IE6 or 7.
In any case, jQuery should not be making that sort of decision.
Unless supporting IE6/7 is imposing significant roadblocks to th

That's a pretty myopic
jQuery isn't only for web apps. It's also for smaller websites. And it'd
be a shame for show/hide to stop working in older browsers when it has
no reason to.

Voice of reason. Thanks

Solution I am proposing will work even for M$FT. If and when (sort-of-

but for XP. Instead of supporting legacy OS they delivered a virtual
environment for legacy OS apps. I simply am suggest

That is not a bad concept at all. In IE8, they've implemented a
compatibility mode for IE7, I'm sure it could be done for IE6.
@david
This is actually very related to jQuery development in that at some
point, the decision will have to be made to drop support for IE6 (and
other older browse

Well the only reason this is a link to a blog is the image present.
Which speaks a thousand words. Which in turn should make the
discussion here productive.
Same as any other useful discussion on this good forum about legacy
browsers issue.
Which in turn is important for this forum, since this iss
jquery-dev is not your personal soapbox. If you're going to
shamelessly plug your blog, can you at least plug a post that's
reasonably related to jquery development?
