Spend the afternoon retro-fitting nice, neat, sensible JavaScript into kindergarten style JavaScript that IE can understand.
Repeat.

To what end?

I've always been one of those guys for whom IE "just works" well enough to never really have committed to any of the alternatives, but given that even some MS sites no longer work with it nowadays, even I now have Chrome/Firefox installed, and would be okay if CP forced me to switch to something else.

There, I just gave you permission to break IE compatibility. Smile | :)

I hope you weren't waiting for my blessings...otherwise...sorry about your afternoon.

Yeah but JSOP still uses IE and he’s armed and angry. We’ve bravely decided to support IE for a little while longer.

I am pretty sure he uses IE because the Government still uses IE, not because he likes it. John works government contracts, I believe.

I'm pretty sure he uses it because he likes to ensure I'm not bored.

Are you saying that IE has the Edge?

(you don't really have to answer, but I'd like your thoughts)

In all seriousness though, I have what is either

A cool Json library (now supporting JsonPath) with one of the most ambitious demo projects ever built.

Or, a cool Tmdb API access library with multilevel caching with a neat little Json component on the side.

It's the same solution.

Should I present it as two articles, each focusing on the relevant bit - like a Json one, and then a separate one for the Tmdb access api?

Or should I try to roll this whole mess into one article?

When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I'd roll them both into one big birthday cake and eat the lot myself, defending it from all others with large sharp implements.
