    Hello,

    The plugin works great, however i had some problems getting it to work in IE 7-8.

    I added the css class to my css file but that didn’t seem to do anything so i started debugging and I’ve noticed that IE 7-8 didn’t pick up the tag <mark>

    I’ve found 2 ways to fix this
    1. change the mark to a span in hlst-extend.js
    2. add a line of js code to your website: document.createElement(“mark”);

    I wouldn’t recommend the 2nd one because it’s not very clean to do so.
    However I understand you want it to be html5 ready, so perhaps you can create check if you need to use a span or the mark tag.

    Thanks for the great plugin, keep up the good work!

  • Thanks for reporting this. I’ll be working on a fix for the next release ??

    OK, version 1.2.1 is available now. It incorporates a quick CSS3 check (for opacity in this case) to decide whether to use <mark> or <span>. It’s not ideal but should do the trick for IE 8 and below.

    Could you test it and let me know?
