To get AngularJS to work in IE7 and IE8, I add id="ng-app" and class="ng-app" to my ng-app element: <html id="ng-app" class="ng-app" ng-app="myApp"> <div ng-view></div> </html> This has always worked in the past, but now I've added class="ng-app" to two different projects, and in both the view no longer renders in any browser. Has the way to do IE7/8 compatibility changed? I'm using version 1.0.2
