Bootstrap in IE8

[Lazy Head]

I am new to web designing and started using bootstrap 3. I created an application and its working fine in all major browsers except IE8. I searched through the web and tried all possible ways and methods, but no luck. can some one help out to solve this issue. I mostly saw that, majority of the people are facing this problem. Isnt there an permanent fix for this?

Thanks

What specifically isn’t working?

The whole layout. All columns are showing as full width, in other words, its showing the mobile view in full screen.

Sounds like respond.Js isn’t working or hasn’t been included or has been implemented incorrectly.

IE8 (as I recall) does not support media queries and since Bootstrap 3 is ‘mobile first’ it requires a javascript polyfill to get it working.

Hence, respond.js

I included respond.js.. i tried putting it after the css file and also i am hosting it locally. i.e, i am not using any CDN’s

Perhaps you could let us see the site.

Although

all major browsers except IE8

IE8 is not a major browser.

actually its an application and am developing it for a client.

The client informed majority of his customers use IE8.. and its been developed in client vpn. cannot show u a demo :(

Then with no code to inspect…we can’t help.

If it was wrong (no disrespect intended) we have no way of finding out.

Good luck.

How about this – since you can’t show us a demo, can you do a small test case (can have dummy content) using basic bootstrap layouts and see if it works in IE8? Just do a page or something. If the same issue happens, we can probably help. If it works fine, then you know that it’s something in your implementation that you’re doing wrong.
