# Fallback for IE

 * Hi,
 * I’ve noticed that (for my use case anyway), this plugin doesn’t work in IE. As
   per the [Picturefill docs on supporting IE](https://github.com/scottjehl/picturefill#supporting-ie-desktop),
   I’ve added a line that, as well as adding a noscript fallback, adds a fallback
   image without a `data-media` attribute for IE 8 and older. You can see it here:
 * [https://gist.github.com/4483996](https://gist.github.com/4483996)
 * Would be great if you could add it, or maybe advise if I’m doing it wrong.
 * (By the way, it would be great if you could fork and do pull requests on plugins
   in the WordPress plugin directory – I think Github has spoilt me!)

 * Github has spoiled me as well – I wish I could do a compare on your pull request,
   and press one key to merge it.
 * However, this plugin should work with IE; picturefill by itself has no IE support,
   but the bundled matchmedia polyfill provides media queries for IE. If it’s not
   working, there may be a javascript error. Let me do some testing with the current
   build, and see if there’s an issue.

 * Cool, ta. I couldn’t see any obvious JS errors, but I’m not the best when it 
   comes to JavaScript!

 * I just did a check with the current build and it all checked out on IE6/7/8. 
   Do you have a live link showing your issue? And what version of IE are you seeing
   this on?

 * Here you go – I’ve commented out my hack, so it should be working normally:

 * Ok, well that clears it up. It’s working in IE9, but IE8 is in fact failing –
   an oversight on my part. The reason I hadn’t noticed on my site is we keep the
   media query on the fallback image blank, which works in IE8 and below. I’ll take
   a look at your merge for sure, and see if there’s a way to integrate it with 
   the functions and administration. Thanks for the feedback!
