IE Hacks aren't working #7

FIrst of all, this is a great solution to responsive development. I used it on a site found here http://fire.h50.us/~greensen and was very impressed with its ease of use and flexibility.

On this site, in any IE version less than 9 it is breaking horribly. I used this style sheet from your site http://unsemantic.com/stylesheets/unsemantic-grid-responsive-tablet.css?1361229050 Which I thought had the IE hacks built in. Do you have an tips on how to make it work?

bmounteer commented 11 years ago

Nevermind. I fixed it using a javscript hack that comes with the html5 responsive boilerplate

Yeah, IE8 and lower requires a shim for HTML5 tags, like <header>, <footer>, etc.

The files in the Unsemantic download actually include "html5.js" which should address this issue, if you include it, like so…

EDIT:

Oops, just saw your follow-up comment. Yeah, that's the shim you need for older IE.
