Why jsfiddle is not rendering at all in IE8 and previous versions?

I tried to open http://jsfiddle.net/ in IE8 with BrowserMode-- IE8 and Document Mode--IE8 in developer tools. In other browsers it's working fine, and even in IE9 it's working fine. But I see javascript errors in IE8 and older versions of IE.

SCRIPT1010: Expected identifier 
EditorCM.js?Spring, line 105 character 25

SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'addEventListener' 
heyoffline.js?Spring, line 24 character 5

SCRIPT5009: 'MooShellEditor' is undefined 
jsfiddle.net, line 91 character 7

SCRIPT5007: Unable to get value of the property 'editor': object is null or undefined 
Actions.js?Spring, line 130 character 5

this is how it's rendered in IE8 enter image description here

Is jsfiddle working with IE8 and older versions?

You can find more info here. In short:

For all unsupported browsers (like IE8 or mobile phones) please use DRAFT feature.

  • Log in to the service on your favourite browser.
  • Create fiddle and Run it
  • On IE8 open the http://jsfiddle.net/draft/
