I have a very strange issue in that no CSS styles are being loaded in IE8 (maybe IE7 as well but cannot check). My site is at http://www.leavetrackapp.com/ and my master CSS
The problem is not that the style sheets are not imported, the problem is that you are using the HTML5 section
tag, which IE8 and earlier does not recognise.
If you change the section
tags to div
tags, it will work better.
@Guffa put me onto the right track with this: the problem is that the HTML5 elements aren't working in Internet Explorer 8 and lower.
Modernizr would fix this, but: http://www.modernizr.com/docs/#installing
Drop the script tags in the
<head>
of your HTML. For best performance, you should have them follow after your stylesheet references. The reason we recommend placing Modernizr in the head is two-fold: the HTML5 Shiv (that enables HTML5 elements in IE) must execute before the<body>
, and if you’re using any of the CSS classes that Modernizr adds, you’ll want to prevent a FOUC.
So, you simply need to move Modernizr from just before </body>
to inside the <head>
element.
