Spry error in older version?

Question

I get an error when I run in 6 and under using the "out of
the box" spry
accordion.
the error line is line 334 from the .js file
******is the line with the error
// XXX: IE doesn't allow the setting of tabindex dynamically.
This means
we can't
//rely on adding the tabindex attribute if it is missing to
enable
keyboard navigation
// by default.
*******//var tabIndexAttr =
this.element.attributes.getNamedItem("tabindex");
if (!tabIndexAttr) this.element.tabindex = 0;
if (tabIndexAttr)
Anyone know what the solution is?

Answer 1

David, thanks for the response. I just looked up browser
usage on my
site and it sits at around 41 people out of roughly 6,000
that visit my
site in a month. Are people, for the most part, not designing
for these
older versions? Perhaps I am behind the times on this?
Any ideas what the best strategy would be to make it so that
if they
don't have ver 6 or above, they would get an alternative
menu?
1. 6.0 3,315 55.39%
2. 7.0 2,629 43.93%
3. 5.01 11 0.18%
4. 5.5 11 0.18%
5. 5.0 10 0.17%
6. 5.17 4 0.07%
7. 5.23 4 0.07%
8. 5.22 1 0.02%
You're probably right not to worry. I will check out the spry
forum.
