Brighteyes Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 My website is displaying strangely in IE8. I know there's issues with too many css file and IE8/9 but I don't think that's the problem here. What's happens is that the site narrows and this in turn throws the layout out. Has anyone come across this before? and managed to solve it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolina Custom Designs Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 That's an odd problem. Is your theme perhaps using a different stylesheet for IE8? Marty Shue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighteyes Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 I have just figured out though that when the bootstrapresponsive.css file is removed all browser show as IE8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighteyes Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 IE8 can't be reading that css file correctly for some reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartDataSoft Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 please use compress css from performance and then your problem will solve.

Brighteyes Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Thanks for that. I've already explored that solution and it's not the problem, thanks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Dalton Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 You could try this line in the head section of your theme "header.tpl. <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" /> Good stuff here, http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2009/02/16/just-the-facts-recap-of-compatibility-view.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighteyes Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Cheers for that, no good int his case though. I've figured part of it out... IE8 does not recognise the css code @media (max-width: 979px) (use to dictate responsive sizes) it needs to be @media screen and (max-width: 979px) (a js script also needs to be uploaded) So i've changed all those instances the only problem I have now is that IE8 thinks the site is a mobile one so is showing an expandable menu. Just need to figure out why it thinks that and fix it. Gonna be a late one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
