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.
