What is Stupid-Table-Plugin browser support in November 2014 ?

[0xadri]

Hi,

I cannot find any clear statement regarding browser support.

I did a bit of research but could not find anything.

Ideally I am looking for an official statement from the creator of the plugin or by someone who has been using this plugin on Live systems for a while.

Thanks in advance,
Adrien

Hey Adrien,

You can run the unittests in any browser by visiting

I haven't made any official statement of browser support, but I can look into some sort of service that will let me test multiple browser versions.

Hi Joe

Thanks for the quick feedback. That's great, I'll run this test in a few different browsers & will post back the results I got.

Yes, maybe browserstack, saucelabs, ghostLab, or spoon could do the job.

👍 Thank you for the service recommendations

Test results on different setups:

• Windows OS (7) + Firefox 33: OK
• Windows OS (7) + Chrome 38 : OK
• Windows OS (7) + IE11: seems fine¹
• Windows OS (7) + IE10: seems fine¹
• Windows OS (XP) + IE8: seems fine^{1 and 2}
• iPad + Safari: OK
• iPad + Chrome: OK
• Samsung S3 mini + Android + Chrome: seems fine²
• Samsung S3 mini + Android + Firefox: seems fine²
• iPhone 4S + iOS + Safari: seems fine²

¹: test fix needed as test 13 fails. Fix this by getting the value of the inline style before acting on the table & then compare it with the inline style after it. Explanation: IE modifies the inline styling properties (see more below).
²: test fix needed as tests 5 & 18 fail. Fix this by increasing "window.WAIT_TIME_MS" to "200". Explanation: slow browsers need more time to apply expected changes.

IE modifies the inline styling properties

Basically, IE modifies the inline styling for the table's tbody, and adds "currentColor; border-image: none;". God knows why.... IE will always be IE.
See by yourself by looking at this example on IE11 http://jsbin.com/hogud/3/edit

Conclusion

It looks all pretty good to me. More browser testing across device would be nice (IE9, browsers on Android tablets & possibly other Android mobiles).
I will submit some pull requests to fix the mentioned Unit Tests fixes.

Adrien,

Thank you so much for your contributions! I appreciate your time and thorough research. I'll be sure to add browser support to the docs. The docs need an overhaul anyhow.

You're welcome. Nice one, this will be appreciated I'm sure :)
