[annotator-dev] Annotator + Plugin in IE8

[Steph Skardal]

Hi,

I saw Nick's response regarding ierange, but I'm not sure how to verify 
whether or not IERange is being pulled in. There was nothing in the IE 
developer tools that indicates issues related to IERange. Can you 
elaborate on what type of errors are expected if IERange is the source 
of the problem?

Steph
