In which browsers does LESS fail to compile to CSS with client-side javascript?

Question

css

Many readers, I believe, are well aware of this example from the official LESS page :

<link rel="stylesheet/less" type="text/css" href="styles.less">
<script src="less.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Attention, the question is: what browsers are so old or not advanced that this example will not work in them?
I read that at the top of that page, Chrome, Safari, and Firefox are mentioned as supporting LESS to CSS client-side compilation. But I want to clarify: what, in IE or in Opera does not work at all? Has anyone checked?

Answer 1

On the site there is a link to the Russian documentation
lesscss.ru/

LESS can be used both on the client side ( IE 6+ , Webkit, Firefox)

Answer 2

Judging by their site, everything works in the opera.

Answer 3

I don't use the less.js solution at all, and I don't advise you to either.
In web storm, I have the less css compiler plugin - it monitors the specified file or directory and compiles less files to css when changes are made. And in other IDEs and editors, I'm sure there are such plugins.
Why?
- I don't like the source code with a huge <style>...</style>
- I don't need additional scripts on the site
- I somehow faced the problem that this bundle did not work somewhere, and in a relatively modern browser ... about a year and a half ago.
Also, I abandoned the php solution for compiling on the fly, because. on 2 sites, after updating the engine, this whole structure broke.
And the solution with compiling the file in the editor (as well as in utilities like less.app) works stably.
