Safari iOS 7, Safari 6.2 and Chrome 40 do not work

  • Hi,

    Thank you for all your hard work on this plugin….

    I ran some test on your plugin to see if I could use it on my current and future projects and here are my findings:

    Desktop:
    1) Firefox source switching works
    2) IE 9,10,11 source switching works
    2) Desktop Chrome 40 is not switching the src on browser resize
    3) Desktop Safari 6.2 img tag is not altered by the plugin at all

    Mobile (iOS)
    1) iPhone on iOS 7.1.2 the srcset is included but the fullsize img is loading
    2) iPad on iOS 7.0.4 the same behaviour as iPhone, no update on device orientation change

    Android
    -> Don’t have test environment set up. Please share your findings

    The fact that iOS is loading full images is most concerning.

    Anyone experienced the same behaviour? Is there a fix?

    Please share your thoughts….

    Thanks for giving such detailed feedback. A few things to note:

    * This plugin relies on the picturefill polyfill to provide source switching capabilities to browsers that do not already support the srcset attribute using w descriptors—which at this point is most browsers.
    * If you’re not seeing the img tag altered in Safari at all, I wonder if you’re getting a cached version of the page, since the plugin will alter the markup regardless of what browser you’re using.
    * If your two mobile devices are retina screens, you may end up seeing larger files than you would expect, because of the extra pixel density.

    If you still believe you’ve found a bug in a particular browser or use case, please let us know more about the specific steps that can be taken to reproduce the bug and we’ll gladly look into it.
