Botframework-webchat: List of WebChat Supported Browsers?

[nwhitmont]

What browsers & versions are officially supported by BotBuilder-WebChat?

This is an excellent question. Unfortunately I have no answers. I would greatly appreciate someone who can do the work to figure this list out and a way to keep it up to date.

Basically I would say it comes down to our biggest dependencies, React and RxJs which both support IE9+.

[billba]

@danmarshall That's just one version of one browser. And there are other issues, including what polyfills we include and also some CSS stuff.

[danmarshall]

I agree it's a funny way to specify the level of support.

https://github.com/ReactiveX/rxjs/issues/733
Yet it seems to be the way our constituents define it :)

@danmarshall I bet you a dollar we don't work on IE9 :-)

[danmarshall]

Using the F12 emulation tools in IE I changed the document mode & user-agent string to IE9. I did notice a few minor rendering bugs in some spots, but overall seemed to work well :)

If there are any IE9 customers we can file bugs on a case-by-case basis.

Is WebChat iframe tested with Firefox? User reports problems sending messages via WebChat iframe in Firefox and IE.

@nwhitmont - not yet. We are working to use a robust testing service which will test against many platform/browser combinations, stay tuned.

I think we are IE11 and modern browsers >= last 2 versions. If anything not working in this combo, please file a bug, we will fix it.
