Forcing AngularJS Apps to work in IE8

Official Angular JS Doc - Not Very Helpful (Disavows Support for IE8)

1. Use ng-style tags instead of style="{{ someCss }}". The latter works in Chrome and Firefox but does not work in Internet Explorer <= 11 (the most recent version at time of writing).

Caching of AJAX Calls


1. need to explicitly set header to prevent browser-caching


Set the http response header ‘cache-control':’no-cache’ for every http Ajax response. That’s all what you need for IE 8,9,10. And of course it doesn’t hurt Chrome/Firefox, because that’s their default behaviour.

2.  IE is notorious for its aggressive caching of Ajax responses. As you're using jQuery, you can set a global option:

$.ajaxSetup({
    cache: false
});
