Spry error in older version?

I get an error when I run in 6 and under using the "out of the box" spry
accordion.

the error line is line 334 from the .js file
******is the line with the error


// XXX: IE doesn't allow the setting of tabindex dynamically. This means
we can't
//rely on adding the tabindex attribute if it is missing to enable
keyboard navigation
// by default.

*******//var tabIndexAttr =
this.element.attributes.getNamedItem("tabindex");
if (!tabIndexAttr) this.element.tabindex = 0;
if (tabIndexAttr)
{

Anyone know what the solution is?

Anybody look at cross browser support for spry? With my browsers, I get
errors on any site/page that I check with IE 5.5 and below. I really
need advice on this. Please let me know if this is some sort of fix for
this.

I need an accordion menu but can't use it if it's not compatible with 5.5.

Thanks

By the way, I can accept the accordion not being visible but popup
errors cause a problem .

Thanks

What makes this so difficult for me is that we have one built into cs3.
And it's probably just a matter of adding a couple lines of code to make
it work.

Amazingly, these boards are rather quiet about a solution.

Actually, it's rather "interesting" that so few people are concerned
about Spry not being compatible with 5.5 and under.

Many of us aren't using Spry... too many issues...

David, thanks for the response. I just looked up browser usage on my
site and it sits at around 41 people out of roughly 6,000 that visit my
site in a month. Are people, for the most part, not designing for these
older versions? Perhaps I am behind the times on this?

Any ideas what the best strategy would be to make it so that if they
don't have ver 6 or above, they would get an alternative menu?
1. 6.0 3,315 55.39%
2. 7.0 2,629 43.93%
3. 5.01 11 0.18%
4. 5.5 11 0.18%
5. 5.0 10 0.17%
6. 5.17 4 0.07%
7. 5.23 4 0.07%
8. 5.22 1 0.02%

You're probably right not to worry. I will check out the spry forum.

The Spry wiki says that Spry is tested on the following browsers:

Firefox
IE 6 and higher
Safari 2
Opera 9

I have no idea whether it's just a question of adding a couple of lines
of code. You might get a better answer in the dedicated Spry forum,
where the Spry development team actively participates in responding to
questions.

I'm not very surprised at the lack of concern. Sites that monitor
browser usage put IE5 at 1.5% or less.

Of course, if your site stats show a higher prevalence of IE 5 usage,
you need to take that into account.

Where's the spry forum? Is there a newsgroup?

Yes. It's macromedia.labs.spry_framework_for_ajax_prerelease on
forums.macromedia.com.

When are they going to narrow down how many forums we need to create? I
have forums.macromedia.com, forums.adobe.com, adobeforums.com. I think
there's one more but I can't remember it. Perhaps not. Anyways, what's
the "official" forum?
