Re: Browser compliance

I think that one is able to force IE to run in backlevel ...

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

Here are your options:

- "IE=edge"
- "IE=11"
- "IE=EmulateIE11"
- "IE=10"
- "IE=EmulateIE10"
- "IE=9"
- "IE=EmulateIE9
- "IE=8"
- "IE=EmulateIE8"
- "IE=7"
- "IE=EmulateIE7"
- "IE=5"

if I'm going to use something I'd rather know, at least at a high level,
how it works. If you don't know what can be done with the tools you're
using, you won't know all the best options you have.

It's like saying "I have a driver... he/she/nonbinary <tic> takes me
places" without realizing you can fly in an airplane as well, or ride a
motorcycle!!!! woohoo!

Please understand that I'm not necessarily against using frameworks.
However, no framework will insulate you from every CSS and JavaScript

issue

that you'll eventually run into. A framework may be fine ... until it's
not.

I think you must just enjoy pain Nathan <grin>

There is no way in this day and age that I want to worry about browser
compatibility. that's the job of the framework. I want to spend time
maintaining and enhancing my applications - now worry ing about how MS

or

Firfox or Apple or ... have screwed up my browser interface this week.

I had to look up the definition of "transpiler" in order to get a

where you were coming from. Don't feel too badly about finding a

that isn't supported in IE10. It takes effort to achieve browser
compatibility for both CSS and JavaScript. It's not easy at first,

but

it

does get easier as you begin to build out your CSS and JavaScript
framework. After a while you get a feel for what works consistently

the major browsers.

Someone is probably thinking, just get one of many popular CSS and
JavaScript frameworks and solve your problem that way. I think that

would

be shallow advice. I think it is better to learn the nuances of CSS

and

JavaScript yourself.

I have about a dozen tiny CGIDEV2 apps. The one I'm looking at now

about a page and a half (HTML with embedded JS). I got burned by a

function that's not supported in IE10, and I'm considering options

to

ensure browser compliance. I've been looking at transpilers, but

they

all

seem like massive overkill (I need a source project with a directory
structure when I can almost put all the code on a single screen?).

Anyone have any thoughts or advice?
