> This is a good example. You rebuilt the functionallity for browsers with no support for [inlinecode]getElementsByClassName[/inlinecode] (as shown in your code example). [link=https://caniuse.com/getelementsbyclassname]CanIUse? tells us[/link], that this method works beginning with IE9 and FF3. Other browsers seem to had support from the beginning, so there's no problem with them.

> Now to the latest versions with no support. FF2 is dead, so it's no problem at all. IE8 is the latest IE-version that was released for Windwos XP. Anyone who use [i]Windows XP [b]with[/b] an internet connection[/i] nowadays is stupid, foolish and a gambler in relation to system security and has the alternative to use other browsers that are not so stone-age (same argument is valid for the OS). Additionally Windows XP is outdated and gets no support [i]since more than six years[/i]. So we should not cosider to support ist.

> I propose to remove the support for IE of version lower than 9 in our JS-scripts. All other browsers get updates very often so we can assume that all browsers (beside from IE) are [i]more or less[/i] up-to-date. On the other hand we should keep the comments, especially if we do not minify the code. In this case we will have only the one script file (for every use case) and the comments enhances the understandability of the code.
