Hey, Looking at some browser market share stats (http://www.sitepoint.com/browser-trends-august-2015-chrome-exceeds-50/ , disclaimer: http://www.sitepoint.com/how-browser-market-share-is-calculated/) IE8 seems hardly be used anyway. Furthermore, with the dropped support for IE8 (and 9+) on Jan 12th, 2016 (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/search?sort=PN&alpha=internet%20explorer), I don't really see any problem in removing IE8 support and notifying the users that they have to update to a modern browser.
Therefore I find Aymeric's proposed solution "You are using an old web browser ..." a reasonable choice over being stuck with ages old technology that is long outdated. /Markus PS: I'd go with SVG solution On Tue, Aug 18, 2015 at 04:13:11AM -0700, Tim Graham wrote:
I also had the idea of upgrading jQuery to jQuery 2 which drops support for IE6/7/8, but I guess this will break all the JavaScript in the admin under those browsers. Do you think that's unacceptable at this time? If so, could you propose an alternate timetable for the upgrade?

Let’s just make sure the admin stays usable, even if it looks bad. Since we’re taking the SVG route, providing an alt text on icons should do. We could be explicit about the lack of support for IE8 and lower by adding a conditional message in the template: <!--[if lt IE 9]><p class="error”>You are using an old web browser which cannot display this page correctly. Please update to a more modern browser or contact your system administrator for help.</p><![endif]--> -- Aymeric.-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
