Scott Wilson commented on WOOKIE-44:
------------------------------------

So for IE8, you can only set/get a preference using:

Widget.preferences.setItem(x,y) and Widget.preferences.getItem(x,y)

But:

Widget.preferences.x = y and y= Widget.preferences.x

Will fail?

If so I wonder if there is some better way of flagging this to developers; e.g. 
looking for this pattern in uploaded widget code and notifying the user that a 
widget won't work in IE8 because of this issue? 

We should certainly put an FAQ entry for it in any case.
