AngularJS 1.3 / 1.4 IE8 builds

========================

AngularJS 1.3 / 1.4 does not work with IE8. With these custom builds you get good IE8 support. I can't guarantee that everything will work but anything I've tried works fine.

### What you need

* [es5-shim](https://github.com/es-shims/es5-shim)

* [jQuery 1.*](http://jquery.com/download/)

* AngularJS 1.4.* build from this repo (some poly-fills are baked in and minor fixes to enable IE8 support)

### Example

```html

	

	

	Angular 1.4 IE8

	

	

```

### npm & bower

##### npm

	npm install angularjs-ie8-build

	

##### bower

	bower install angularjs-ie8-build

	

	// bower install with local name "angular"

	bower install angular=angularjs-ie8-build

### Careful now

When using `$q` promise methods `catch` or `finally` in IE8 use bracket notation instead of dot notation. Same goes for `$http` `delete` method. IE8 does not like dot notation with these reserved words.

```javascript

// no

promise.catch(function(){});

// yes

promise['catch'](function(){});

```

#### Other stuff

*   Use attributes for directives, e.g. `
` instead of custom element ``

*   If you want to use custom elements, you need to make IE8 aware of them first, e.g. `document.createElement('ng-view');`

*   Use `ng-style` instead of `style="{{ someCss }}"`

*   Check any additional angular or third party modules you are using for reserved words described above. If you find any, use a search and replace to change from dot notation to bracket notation
