Reply To: Bootstrap fixes IE8 not working for me yet

[paulsmith]

For one recent site putting the respond in the same place as the site (as carasmo mentions) rather than “https://oss.maxcdn.com/html5shiv/3.7.2/html5shiv.min.js” did the trick

<div><!-- HTML5 shim and Respond.js for IE8 support of HTML5 elements and media queries -->
    <!--[if lt IE 9]>
      <script src="js/html5shiv.min.js"></script>
      <script src="js/respond.min.js"></script>
    <![endif]--></div>

however i’ve copied this method to another site and it just doesn’t seem to work! I went back to the Bootstrap demo and this doesn’t seem to work either..
http://getbootstrap.com/examples/grid/

Can anyone help?
