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;
}
