Sencha Touch is brilliant but IE cannot open websites which is developed using Sencha Touch.
I am not interested in using IE, but my opinion is not important since many others may use it.
Since Microsoft announces HTML-5 Support and I have worked with the great tools to make native apps even using HTML-5 and Java so it is obvious that IE 10 must support HTML5. But it seems sencha touch websites cannot be explored by IE 10 too, since I cannot explore Kitchen Sink (on sencha.com) using IE 10 however I can easily do this using Chrome.
Further to this problem, I want to make an web-site for a small company, is it right to use Sencha Touch to develop it or jQuery is a better choice? (I yearn for you say Sencha Touch 🙂 since I am completely unfamiliar with jQuery)
I appreciate the time you are spending.
Sincerely yours,

Call me old-fashioned, but when I see the Kitchen Sink demo failing in IE10, I blame the developers behind the demo, and not those behind the browser. IE10 is an oustanding browser that is worthy of our attention, and not merely for the fact that it will be used by millions upon millions immediately following its official release, but also because it’s a great browser from a technical perspective.
If you’re going to build a solution for your clients, you should avoid libraries that wish to distance themselves from supporting half of the market, meaning they don’t actively develop with IE in mind. The excuses for not supporting IE simply aren’t there today as your code won’t require that much variance to work properly in the latest version of Microsoft’s browser.
Use jQuery, jQuery Mobile, or jQuery UI. You can get some great UI from and with all of them, and you’ll find excellent support in all major browsers.
