I'm trying to make my jQuery Mobile work with Internet Explorer.
My code is rather simple, it's just a small form.
I put a demo there: http://pogopixels.com/jqmtest.html

<div data-role="page">
<div data-role="content">
<form action="http://mxc.local/api/signup" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8">
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<label for="email">Email</label><input type="text" id="email" name="email" />
</div>
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<label for="username">Username</label><input type="text" id="username" name="username" />
</div>
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<label for="password">Password</label><input type="password" id="password" name="password" />
</div>
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<label for="confirmPassword">Confirm</label><input type="password" id="confirmPassword" name="confirmPassword" />
</div>
<button name="submit">Sign Up</button>
</form>
</div> <!-- /content -->
</div>
<!-- /page -->
</body>
</html>
It works in Firefox and Chrome, however IE9 displays a blank page.
IE displays a message like "A problem displaying localhost made IE to switch to compatibility mode" at the bottom.
Any idea what I could do to make it work?
I got my answer in another question - Mobilejquery show nothing on Internet explorer
We stopped testing jQuery mobile on IE since lots of stuff doesn't work, if it works fine on all the phones and Chrome/FF why bother I guess - it's intended for the phone and you can for the most part develop in Chrome – Clay Liu Feb 8 at 17:17
A pity as, for me, no support for IE is a deal breaker (even if indeed the framework is intended for mobile phones).
