Internet Explorer 8 rendering and javascript errors

[MTRichards]

Using IE8 with ownCloud 4.5.1, there are a handful of rendering and javascript errors.

Top left, bottom left and top right icons don't appear in the navigation frame.

"Object expected line 128, line 133, line 2...

To repeat:
Open IE 8 and load ownCloud 4.5.1a
Log in, see errors

We got a lot of pull request from @libasys regarding IE fixes which have been merged into master (upcoming OC 5.0)
We should check which patches scan be back ported.

Btw. another question here: Which browsers do we officially support?

IE 8 is kinda old and for example Google is deprecating support for it on Nov 15 :-)

I know and I would love to drop support for IE8 :-) The problem is that this is the last version that works on XP. So we can drop this yet :-( For the other cases it´s probably ok to concentrate on the latest 1 or 2 versions

[libasys]

I will do all changes, so owncloud inf the future works with IE8, but I need an OC Version of 5. Because the changes from 4.5.1 to 5 are a lot of. And the other question is, by when the jqueryversion will be updated. I work with 1.8.2!

[karlitschek]

@libasys It would be awesome if you could look into that

[DeepDiver1975]

@karlitschek Will we close this one as 'Won't fix' as we won't have a solution for 4.5.1?

[karlitschek]

yes. you are right

[DeepDiver1975]

@MTRichards We try to get IE support into OC5 - THX to @libasys
