Still looking for a way to make Pilot Fish navigation work in IE 8

And, you know, 20 – 25% of people in the U.S. are still using IE, so it does matter.

Thank you for your advice Jana. I’ll try to make Pilot Fish work in IE ??

Thank you!

You can try this script: css3-mediaqueries-js

Just link this script after the stylesheet and other javascript files, inside the header. I’m using Ubuntu and I don’t have Windows, so I cannot test it on IE, but I tried to view my theme using Adobe BrowserLab and it worked.

Thanks, I’ll try that.

Hi,
Could you please please let us know how to ‘link’ the css3-mediaqueries-js file ?
in which file should we edit and where should we put ? and which line of code would ‘link’ this file ?

thank you

aspirateur, I had the same question, but was going to ask my code guy.

Danni…? Or someone else?

you get the same problem with the menu right ? just the links ? not the dropdown stuff… ?
how did you fix other issues ? i did not see any other … ?

One thing that helped was validating the code on my site. Info here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Validating_a_Website

Okay; I…

1. went to https://code.google.com/p/css3-mediaqueries-js/ and downloaded css3-mediaqueries-js

2. ftp’d css3-mediaqueries-js to themes/pilot-fish/js

3. went to header.php and inserted <script src="https://s001.janasnyder.com/~blackbea/wp-content/themes/pilot-fish/js/css3-mediaqueries.js"></script> right before <?php pilotfish_head(); // head hook ?>

4. checked it with firebug to make sure it’s there (it is)

…but navigation is still not working in IE 8.

Sorry Jana! I forgot to mention that the script need to be added after loading the CSS stylesheet.

This is my theme development site: https://wpdev.danielatwork.com/ Could you please check it under IE8 and see if the menu aligned well? I’m using BrowserLab instead of real IE8, so I cannot guarantee if it works.

and to add the css3-mediaqueries.js:

1. download the file and upload it to yoursitename.com/wp-content/themes/pilot-fish/js/ (using FTP such as filezilla)

2. go to the script.php file, and inside the first function pilotfish_scripts(), add:

wp_register_script('pilotfish_mediaqueries', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/css3-mediaqueries.js', array('jquery'), null, false);
wp_enqueue_script('pilotfish_mediaqueries');

to the bottom of that function.

I’m sorry, I don’t know enough about code to understand what you mean by “inside the first function” or “to the bottom of that function.” Can you tell me what the preceding or following line of code is?

Sorry for my newbie understanding, and thanks for your patience! ??

Oh and, yes, your development site works perfectly in IE!

Hi Jana,

Have you ever changed the scripts.php file on your site? If not, you can just download this new one here: https://www.box.com/s/35z9nuvz477svro0glpf and FTP to yoursitename.com/wp-content/themes/pilot-fish/includes/ to overwrite the original file. (and make sure the css3-mediaqueries.js is in the js folder too)

I have added the link to the media query javascript file in the new scripts.php. You can also take a look at it and modify yours according to this one ??

Hope it helps^^
