Im having this real strange issue where IE8 isn't parsing my data attributes on the <body> tag.
For example, I have the following html:
<body data-controller="homeCtrl">
When i inspect the page in IE8 developer tools that attribute is completely missing. It is confirmed when i execute javascript in the console (it returns null!):
document.body.getAttribute('data-controller')
If i view the source, the data attribute is indeed there, IE8 just seems to ignore it or remove it?!?
More strangely, if i have a div within body.. for example
<div id="main" data-controller="homeCtrl">
This works! I can see it in the developer tools and I can read its value with javascript. So bizarre!
Has anyone come across this before? What would cause this to happen?
