JavaScript javascript compatibility

I want to define the best javascript framework to use in order to maintain compatibility with IE 6.

Specifically, I want to know which IE6 supports best - Dojo or JQuery.

I define compatibility based on the amount of work you have to do to make the database work with IE6 (there might be features in the infrastructure that require special coding to allow them to work with IE6, or there might be incompatible features altogether).

Are there any compatibility criteria or matrices for the various javascript frameworks that quantify the work you will have to do to maintain compatibility with IE6?

Both jQuery and DOJO claim they support IE6:

http://docs.jquery.com/Browser_Compatibility

http://o.dojotoolkit.org/support/faq/what-browsers-does-dojo-support

DOJO seems to have a pretty grandiose statement:



... 100% of the functionality available, accessibility is handled correctly, and that all internationalization and localization is supported. This is a very high bar, ...

And jQuery claims they are regularly tested in IE6.

Personally, I would let other requirements dictate which structure you use. One of the main challenges for a JavaScript library is to be browser compatible, so any decent library will do well.

Among other things, the main priority of the javascript library is to solve cross-browser problems. Having said that, I personally use jQuery and yes it overcomes IE6 issues besides other more recent IE versions.

The "better" in your question indicates subjectivity, so I would probably change that on the community wiki.

The best thing to do in each case is to see what the libraries they support say. I know that it does a great job with IE6 within frameworks:

I don't have actual personal experience with Dojo or ExtJS , but they supported IE6 already a couple of years ago when I looked into them - I'd be surprised if they didn't support it (yet). (The ExtJS " learn more " page says IE6 and up, the "supported" list on the Dojo homepage is not shocking, link to the list.)

The Closure team initially stated they support IE6 (although they don't have an official listing ), but this may have changed with Google's recent decision to drop support for IE6 from their web apps.
