Browser Support and Testing

Abbreviations

SE - Syntax Error: If a browser doesn't support JavaScript 1.5/ECMAScript v3 then the code will syntax error when the external file loads. That means the library is not available for use.
NS - Not Supported: A call to FORK.Ajax.isSupported() returns false then you cannot expect the code to run as expected or without a runtime error.
S - Supported: If a call to FORK.Ajax.isSupported() returns true then in the browsers tested this means the code will run as expected to completion.
RE - Runtime Error: The worst case scenario. No Fork lib that is supported in the browsers tested will cause a run time error.

Blue in the left column represents Windows XP SP2. Green represents OS X 10.4.8 or as noted.

1) Runtime error if function.apply() or function.call() used. IE 5.0 does have function.apply()
2) alt key doesn't work for muliple select
3) very slow and CPU intensive on leak test with the big server response
4) preventDefault() doesn't prevent text highlighting during drag
5) memory leak
6) Can't use the Rails 1.1 Accept header trick. Need to use the Rails 1.2 format parameter in the URL
7) limited style reporting abilites. Only some properties
