Am I missing something or is Rails3 UJS incompatible with Firefox 3?

AFAIK, all the previous-gen browsers didn't support the HTML5 data- attributes, so does this mean all the Rails3-style UJS code won't work on Firefox browsers prior to Firefox 4? Are there workarounds if so?

I believe you can code your own alternative to the HTML5 data- attributes API (see Do HTML5 custom data attributes “work” in IE 6?), because HTML5 was designed to work with existing browsers as far as possible.

I’m entirely unfamiliar with Rails, but whatever Rails3 UJS is, it may well have its own built-in alternative to native HTML5 data- attribute support.

    Thanks for linking that thread. looks to me like you can get the attributes in JS whether they're fully supported by the browser or not, I need to do a little more digging in to the new Unobtrusive JavaScript features in Rails3 to find out if that's all they require. Thanks Paul. – Corey Maher Jun 21 '11 at 20:24
  • @NYCorey: you’re most welcome, and yup, that’s my understanding too. Best of luck! – Paul D. Waite Jun 21 '11 at 22:41
