So, I guess the question for everyone is: How important is Internet
Explorer support for LSMB 1.x (out of the box at least)? Obviously for 2.x
we can provide a different set of templates without localizable buttons for
businesses requiring IE.
Lack of IE support would hurt me a bit. And I am guessing that the problems
are likely to be similar for Pocket IE. But I am worried that trying to go
back to submit buttons is going to require hackish i18n support which I am
not thrilled about either.
In either case, I will be letting people I know at Microsoft why this is a
problem.
Best Wishes,
Chris Travers
