This is based on my ongoing efforts to get any of IE 7, 8, or 9 to work. 9 does technically have SVG support, but things are still going wrong--wrong enough that the only viable option was to block it up front. It just doesn't handle SVGs in the way the other browsers do, and even rewriting the code from the ground up for IE didn't give me results I could use. I spent many, many hours trying to crack this problem and ultimately decided that it wasn't reasonably doable for this release. Sorry, kids.
I know some web professionals (of which I am not one) have a thing against IE. While it's not my browser of choice, I'm not crusading against it. I would happily support it if there were any way that I could. Fingers crossed for IE10.
I've mentioned before that one of the biggest problems I've had in coding HTML is that IE, Chrome, Safari and Firefox are not pure-HTML compliant. Opera is, but because it is the only one that is, that means that some websites just hate it. What all this can mean is that your code will work properly in one, some, all or none of the browsers listed. However, I'd probably experiment with user agent strings and/or Compatibility Mode before just writing off IE.Brett, when was the last time you worked with IE? Is this based on info from a couple of years ago? I know many, many users who will not install another browser because they only use what comes with their computers. No worries that you don't change this, I have three browsers available on any of my computers at any time. But I'm not your average user.

websites should really try to be IE-compliant
Interesting; there are a lot of browsers to choose from now a daze. What is the most popular browser used to access your site? I'm guessing that a lot of musicians are also artists and so maybe it is Chrome?IE users make up about 20% of visitors to my website, and that number is slowly but steadily dropping.
About 30% Firefox, 30% Safari, 20% IE, 15% Chrome, 5% various mobile.
I once was accused of being a "modernist" for suggesting or using telnet in lieu of nc (aka netcat).Haw Ben! Where is that fricken LIKE button. :O)
#!Don't make me come over there and beat you with a |.
Brett, I get this message:
Sorry, the Fingering diagram builder is not compatible with Internet Explorer. Please consider trying a free alternative browser.
Really, that leaves a lot of us in the lurch.
