The company requires support for IE8!?

Question

Browsers

Hello everyone, I got a call from the company I work for and they said to continue making websites with + IE8 support is it legal?
I don’t even know what to do
Before, I didn’t even have experience developing under IE8, because I had 1.5 years of experience, I saw an article on Habré that Microsoft refused to support IE8 at all, it’s also problematic to install on a computer, watchmen tell me what to do in this situation?

Answer 1

tell me how to be in this situation?

1. quit
   
2. Layout for IE8
   

Answer 2

In fact, nothing is difficult, CSS 2.1 is supported there by the norm, if JS is needed, take TypeScript, set it to es3 and go ahead.
You can also tie PIE , but I would not advise it, it causes more problems than help.
Of course, you will have to forget about `flex`, only table / float, only hardcore. But this is not scary either, take the grid from the first bootstrap and do not grieve.

Answer 3

Quit :)
The requirement for IE8 support usually arises from those who still work on WinXP - for the simple reason that nothing else can be put there from M$-browsers. And the WinXP requirement usually arises from "we have a unique development, but it has not been updated since the "holy 90s" and will not be updated anymore, but we will work on it until it gets hot at all, because there are no developers or sources" :D
There was recently a question about a medical center in China, which is still working on Win98 . This is your future :)

Answer 4

At least not IE6, but you can understand the employer, support for old ie is x2 to the price.
There are all sorts of polyfills, like modernzr, etc.
