IE9 Support for Gloss
Today I released a major revision to Gloss…it now supports IE9!
One of the reasons I hadn’t provided support for IE9 was because of a bug in ExtJS’s TreePanel, which would not correctly attach events to tree nodes. However, I found a nice workaround (read hack) that resolved the issue, so now I’m pleased to release this app for IE9 users.
One of the things I am pleasantly surprised about is how darn well Gloss operates in IE9. The animations are smooth, the page loading is super-quick, and it’s just all-around a very slick experience.
So if you’ve wanted to use Gloss, but were impeded because of the lack of IE support, now’s your chance to turn over a new leaf 🙂
TECHNICAL NOTE: Because of the necessity of localStorage for Gloss, running Gloss in IE9 will only work correctly if you are running in IE9 Standards Mode.

Hi Petr–
The hack is basically to get ExtJS to run in “Chrome” mode for IE9. If you look in the head section of the site, you’ll see this:
// hack hack hackity hack
if (Ext.isIE6 && /msie 9/.test(navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase())) {
Ext.isIE6 = Ext.isIE = false;
Ext.isChrome = Ext.isIE9 = true;
}
