[alishahab]

Please try to make it compatible with more then 1% usage browsers.

Hi,

does not work with ie8: this is a perfectly sensible choice but, please, add a list of supported browser in readme :)

Thanks
Bye

Please don't. Let's move the web forward :)

If someone wants to investigate the IE9 issue, and submit a fix, I’d be willing to consider it (assuming the fix isn't too horrible or more than a couple loc). But IE8 is out of the question.
It’s not just market share that matters, it’s also the trend. IE8 usage is dropping, fast. And autocomplete in most cases is a nice-to-have, not something that breaks the website if it’s not there.

I know this is closed but I wanted to add that this works just fine in IE9 when the scripts are moved before the closing body tag or it is wrapped in an onload event.

Hmm interesting, thanks @drifterz28! Pull request? :)

Which probably means the code waiting for DOM ready fails in IE9?

@LeaVerou I could probably fix it if only we have tests first ;)
How about one of the test frameworks and test runners mentioned in #14565
