IE7 not support wysihtml5 editor

Question

I'm using wysihtml5 editor in my rails app . It works properly in all browser but not in IE < 8. How can I use this editor on IE browser which are less than IE8(eg IE 7)? I'm using gem 'bootstrap-wysihtml5-rails'.

If you take a look at the wysihtml5 github page, you'll find that it supports IE8+ (https://github.com/xing/wysihtml5#browser-support). So IE7 is not supported.

It will gracefully degrade, so IE7 and IE6 users can edit the plain HTML.

You could use an other editor that supports IE7, for example CKEditor (Supports IE6+)
