It’s 2008. We reached DOM level 3. DOM level 1 is 10 years old and IE8 still does not have a Node or Range interface implementation. it’s sad.
markkit relies heavily on DOM objects. so I’m disappointed. i must admit, i hoped, naively, IE8 will be really dom compatible. so that i don’t have to do the ugly work of adaptation to IE quirks.
now i’ll have to do it. but, i pushed it down on my task list.
P.S. don’t even try to do the X-UA-Compatible ugly trick. it does not work.
