IE less then 8 shim algorithm

#IE < 8 shim algorithm

Properties

1. In your implementation of Object.defineProperty(obj, ...) for IE make sure you check for the ielt8 flag and set getters and setters as obj["get"/"set" + propertyName]

    ...
    if(Object.defineProperty.ielt8) {
      obj["get" + propertyName] = getter;
      obj["set" + propertyName] = setter;
    }
    ...
   

2. Set Object.defineProperty.ielt8 = true;

3. Use HTC technique for shim. Add style element with content:

    * { behavior : shim.htc }
   

4. In HTC file:

    <PUBLIC:PROPERTY NAME="propertyName" GET="getter_propertyName" PUT="setter_propertyName" />
    <SCRIPT>
    var proto = Element.prototype;
    var getter_propertyName = proto.getpropertyName;
    var setter_propertyName = proto.setpropertyName;
    </SCRIPT>
   

Functions

1. Create fake Node = {} and Node.prototype = {ielt8 : true} for IE < 8. You can use ielt8 flag for detect purpose

2. Define functions as usual:

    Object.defineProperty(Node.prototype, "someFunction", {
      value : someFunction
    })
    // or
    Node.prototype.someFunction = someFunction;
   

3. Use HTC technique for shim. Add style element with content:

    * { behavior : shim.htc }
   

4. In HTC file:

    <SCRIPT>
    var Node_proto=window.Node.prototype;
    if(!this.someFunction)this.someFunction = Node_proto.someFunction;
    </SCRIPT>
   

Note:

1. Create lightweight htc file. First line in file:

    <PUBLIC:COMPONENT lightWeight="true">
