About IE9 compatibility

My goal was to add full IE9 compatibility in version 0.83, but despite =

all my attempts I couldn't solve all compatibility issues. Those issues =

that I solved lead to more problems and created incompatibility issues =

with other browsers.=20

 

All Ext JS samples seem to work in IE9, but with unigui it was not that =

simple. IE9 is such an abomination which can mess everything if you =

change a few tags in HTML or change the "document type" tags. I couldn't =

find an easy solution to enable all unigui controls work as expected in =

IE9 and still maintain compatibility with other browsers, so I found it =

a waste of time and gave it up for now until it becomes non-beta or Ext =

JS starts officially supporting it.

Microsoft is really good at creating problems for developers.

I think for now IE9 support is not critical.

We hope that Firefox and Crome maintain a high level of development to

have no more need for IE.

Chrome seems to be miles ahead of everyone at the moment in terms of

Javascript speed - we certainly suggest all our customers use it

whenever they can. Some IT depts do have quite rigid regimes in place

however and insist on IE (whatever ver they have as the 'current'). One

nice thing about Chrome is the 'application mode' - give users a

shortcut pointing to

 

PathTo\chrome.exe --app=http://ServerIpAddress:port

 

and its not that obvious they are running a browser at all - 'it's just

the client software' (if you can get to install it in the first place

that is!).

 

IE's market share is in decline and may some day not be the biggest but

it's not going to happen anytime soon, so I guess support for all its

faults is going to carry on well into the future.

Actually IE9 has lots of performance improvements. I can say its JS engine

is faster than FireFox 3.x, but again it is not ready for daily usage. Even

if it becomes the fastet browser in the market there is no reason to prefer

it over FF or Chrome.

Chrome is best to run web applications. It has best render time for complex

JS oebjects such as big dbgrids with lots of data

IE market share will dramatically fall no matter what they do. There is no

reason to prefer IE over other browsers. The only problem for us is IT

departments who don't allow installing other browsers, so unfortunately we

must continue supporting IE.
