They are aggravating when you bluntly assert that
something does not work without actually testing it.
What do you mean by “anyway”?
Just test the code properly in an IE browser, and then
report your findings.
Does that not seem a reasonable request?
Edit:-
Two hours later…
I discover that you do not actually have an IE8 browser
for testing purposes 
…
So please never state in that dismissive manner that “it doesn’t work”.
It really is very aggravating.
