Doesn't work in IE8

[ncri]

Is that a known issue?

For example I cannot make text italic on your demo page http://toopay.github.io/bootstrap-markdown/ when using IE 8. Clicking the I icon produces a js error:

SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'indexOf' 
bootstrap-markdown.js, line 154 character 11

@toopay is IE8 something you want to support or IE9 and up? Otherwise I could take a look to do some fixes to improve IE8 support

The use of es5-shim could probably help for that. But we also have to live with the times. IE8 is now not supported by Microsoft (since they drop the support of Windows XP).

I'd love to drop IE8 as well, however, a significant part of our users still use it and we simply cannot afford to not support them.

Sorry guys, i just don't see the need to support IE8. But @acrobat if you want to make an effort to support IE9, please do.

[ncri]

Well, the need is there obviously, as i wrote. Of cause you can choose to ignore it. ;-)

Although i would have probably decided similar... The earlier we get rid of IE8 the better. If the users see broken sites with IE8, they might have an insentive to upgrade. ;-)

I'm going to take a look at IE9 support, but i also will try to find some external libs (like es5-shim) to add IE8 support without much (or even none?) effort and change in the current code. (just some tips/tricks in the docs)
