IE < 10 doesn't support placeholder, which panopoly admin uses prominently to display the title attribute on the node edit title field among other places.

One option is to use the formalize library (like omega does) to make this functionality work in IE9 and before.

On a side node, looking at panopoly_admin.module, it looks like it is setting the placeholder attribute on ANY form that has a title. Is that what was intended?

How about something a little lighter weight like https://gist.github.com/jaywilliams/1105055? There are only a few placeholder considerations in Panopoly and don't want to go overboard. Postponing till post RC4.

We should make a decision on this one.

Is this now a non-issue? Windows XP is officially out of the door, which means IE8 is killed off. Technically IE9 exists through Vista and outdated Windows 7 machines. However every company that I witnessed upgrade from Windows XP also upgraded Vista to 7. The browser share is so minimal.

There are lots of corporate users who are stuck on IE9 or earlier. For corporate intranets (ie. like Open Atrium!) this can be important. I think that's enough to keep this issue open, if very low priority.

For the fix, I agree with @populist, we should use a super lightweight approach like he linked to and it should be possible to turn it off completely. But, yeah, since this is low priority, I have no plans to work on it any time soon. :-)
