When using IE 11 highlighting text does not reveal the “quote” pop up. It works fine in chrome and I confirmed myself that this doesn’t work in IE 11. Apparently we [support](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-will-be-dropping-ie9-support-in-2016/31090) back to IE 10.
When you highlight text these errors show up in the console:

This is quite bad, @eviltrout can you fix this, seems pretty straight forward to use jQuery closest here as opposed to DOM closest

I think this should fix it
```plaintext
const withinCooked = $(range.startContainer.parentNode).closest('.cooked');
```
Haven’t tested though.

Even edge does not support native Closest until very latest version so this should be avoided.

Per [the wikipedia Edge release history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Edge#Release_history) it looks like “Edge 15” is only released as of April 11, 2017.

Not working with my obscure webkit browser either.
```
ii libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0-0:i386 2.4.11-3 i386
ii libwebkitgtk-1.0-0:i386 2.4.11-3 i386
hi surf 0.6-1 i386
```
When I highlight text, the browser spits out this console error:
` ** Message: console message: https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/assets/application-09c15314fa7c40b3b300d2faf6824148ef6d3356ac149ccde164b442a25aa9c3.js @20: TypeError: undefined is not a function (evaluating ‘r.startContainer.parentNode.closest(“.cooked”)’)`

(Thanks everybody.)`

Fixed in
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/dfc9a27dc4d6881555b982f913ad78e59461a2a3](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/dfc9a27dc4d6881555b982f913ad78e59461a2a3)
I’ll need to test it out on IE11 once it gets deployed.
