Internet Explorer 8 & 9 Issues

  • I’m working on a website and happened to try it in IE 9 today but my formatting has gone out the window – left navigation has moved to the top, the menu is displaying as though it is a smaller screen, incorrect background color, and position of the email sign-up field. It seems to be working on other browsers and devices, including IE 10 & 11.

    Any tips on fixing this?

  • This is random, but in ie9, there is a little icon in the right of the URL bar that looks like a piece of torn paper, which controls ie9’s comparability mode. Before you pull CSS or anything apart, check to see if you accidentally turned it on. That’s fooled me SO MANY TIMES! ??

    Thanks! It did fix a few issues but I’m mostly concerned with how the navigation layout is handled. I’m going to try some browser specific style sheets, but not sure how to get the menu to behave.

    The fact that your page fonts aren’t rendering correctly makes me think it might be an open tag somewhere that the newer browsers are smart enough to fix for you. In iE9 (for me), your fonts break right after the entry-content div.

    Maybe try validating your markup to see if it catches anything: https://validator.w3.org/
