Maximizing backward compatibility with JavaScript


JavaScript can be used to get older browsers such as Internet Explorer 6 to behave like more modern browsers, to some extent. The ie7-js.js library uses JavaScript targeted at older versions of Internet Explorer to fix many of the common issues with these older versions of the browser.

Getting ready

As usual, you'll need to open your Joomla! template's index.php file and locate the<head> element.

How to do it...

  1. 1. Insert a conditional comment targeted at versions of Internet Explorer less than 7:

    <head>
    <!—some HTML omitted for brevity -->
    <!--[if lt IE 7]>
    <script src="http://ie7-js.googlecode.com/svn/version/2.1(beta3)/IE7.js">
    </script>
    <![endif]-->
    </head>
