Get the view path of a widget on IE

[bielfrontera]

Replace constructor.name with a new function called getName that works on Internet Explorer.
This new function is based on this workaround to support Function.name: http://matt.scharley.me/2012/03/09/monkey-patch-name-ie.html

Combined with PR #310, the library works fine on IE.

Disclaimer: I do not use Internet Explorer! However, I developed a TV panel using your library, and now we have to support IE...

Thanks for this. I note that this same fix is used in the dashing.coffee in the node.js port of dashing, which works much better with IE.

Hello,

i'm trying to use dashing with the fixes for the IE and i'm not getting nothing. I tried in IE9, IE10 and IE11. I even cloned the repo of bielfrontera and liquidcc but nothing. Can you help?

Rafael,

Have you installed node.js and the event-source code? It wasn't working for me until I installed those things.

Hi Rafael, Sorry for the delayed response. I moved over to dashing-js, a
node.js clone of dashing, and found that the IE fixes have been more
actively taken on and it works fine in IE11. I have also noted that in a
corporate environment, the corporate network proxy will introduce issues
that you just won't see in a less restricted environment. Cheers, Dan

#322 (comment).

Based on @rafaelescrich's comment, can someone confirm if this PR works in IE and if so, what versions?

Otherwise, no breaking changes and this seems like a desirable feature. Even if IE is lame.

Just found #310 -- seems like that PR is a better candidate as it includes these fixes as well as other changes.
