ie8

Yesterday I spent the entire day trying to narrow down a nasty CSS bug that only surfaced in Internet Explorer 8. Everyones favourite browser didn’t redraw a pseudo element created via :before when its style got changed by adding or removing a class via JavaScript. It was a custom checkbox element with a JavaScript click handler that simply toggled a class on every click. Getting to the bottom of it Here is a jsFiddle with a trimmed down version of said checkbox.

Written by Andreas Marek (@andimarek). We (the team I work in) are developing an AngularJS application for the last several months. Most of our customers are still using IE 8, so we need to support that browser. Our app is using AngularJS 1.1.5 and jQuery 1.x. A few weeks ago it was time to make our app work in IE 8. A good starting point is the official Angular IE guide.
