application from 7 to 8 I found out that nothing was working with Internet Explorer. I found out why. But generally transpilers help me much.
Lately not much concern with JavaScript/ECMAScript/TypeScript compatibility because we have very, very good polyfills and transpilers, so there is not much concern about ECMAScript.
Forms
Encountered any incompatibility issues recently, when it comes to forms?
Not in logic, but in the layout. It's always been a pain for me making decent layout among all the browsers, or better, among all new and legacy browser. Because with Firefox and Chrome there is not much trouble in hiding the generic selectors, default selector, etc., But when it's time to do the same on Internet Explorer [...] it's still a pain. And there are some other things which I would like to be implemented, like styling the scrollbars, or whatever. The scrollbar would be appreciated. Styling the scrollbar, just like in Chrome.
Edge / Internet Explorer
I hope that Microsoft will roll out the new Edge as soon as possible. I never thought much of Edge even in older versions, because it has always been mostly compatible. It still had some troubles like in the placeholder CSS pseudo selector, but nothing particularly hard to solve. Anyway, I hope that Microsoft will soon release the Chromium version, or roll out the Chromium version on Windows update, and the world will be better.
You mentioned a selector issue in old versions of IE. How did you work around that, the last time it came up?
I don't remember whether it was on Edge or Internet Explorer, but there is a selector which says if you have a placeholder in a form input is shown or not. In that case, I wanted to remove the label when it was not shown, in order to make a cool-to-see input field. But it could not work in Internet Explorer and I wanted a CSS-only solution. I had to make a different layout, because there was no other CSS-only solution to make it backwards compatible with Explorer.
