Browser supported

These code samples use WebComponents and Shadow DOM with Polymer 1.3 as JavaScript framework.

To make it all work in Firefox and Internet Explorer I have to replace table tags with divs, write my own sc-select component to workaround dom-repeat issue in Internet Explorer.

Notes

• The ASP.NET MVC example should also work in Vistual Studio 2012/2013, but was not tested.
