[xwiki-devs] [IDEA] Start supporting IE10 and IE11

Hello all, I’m writing this e-mail because I want to propose supporting Internet Explorer 10 and Internet Explorer 11 on 6.x cycle. First of all, it’s known that Internet Explorer 8 and Internet Explorer 9 are still widely used by users, but many of them are currently choosing to update to IE10 and IE11. According to netmarketshare.com (Browsers -> Desktop Share by Version) from a total of 100%, IE10 is used by 6.85% users and IE11 by 16.61% users. It’s true that IE10 is not as popular as the older versions (IE8 - 20.85% and IE9 - 8.89%), but its usage percentage is still significant. Second of all, both versions (IE10 and IE11) have some problems rendering our content sometimes, and you will see that below: IE10 known problems (unfixed) reported on JIRA: 1. XWIKI-10269: Table edit: pressing enter inserts new line in a different table cell 2. XWIKI-10299: The last annotation for a word isn’t displayed on IE10 3. XWIKI-10300: If a text has multiple annotations after removing one of them the text looks like isn’t annotated on IE10 4. XWIKI-10192: The "Username" and "Password" input fields don't have the same size IE11 known problems (unfixed) reported on JIRA: 1. XWIKI-9933: When you press "Alt+C" in IE11 (cancel edition) in edit wiki mode, the wiki session is canceled, but it also appears the "View favourites, feeds and history" option 2. XWIKI-9787: Jump to a page using CTRL+G doesn’t work 3. XWIKI-10192: The "Username" and "Password" input fields don't have the same size Last but not least, since December - January I’ve been testing IE10 and IE11 (smoke tests or full tests) and their biggest problems were with WYSIWYG (you can see that on: XWIKI-9698, XWIKI-10282 and XWIKI-10283). So, what do you think? Andreea
