IE 8 and YUI Top Nav

BJKline · November 2013

I know IE8 is old but some of our customers still use old systems. We want to make our website look as best we can for them as well.

I tried adding that code, now my code looks like this:

expTheme::head(array(
"xhtml"=>false,
"css_primer"=>array(
YUI2_RELATIVE."yui2-reset-fonts-grids/yui2-reset-fonts-grids.css"
),
"css_core"=>array(
"common"
),
"meta"=>array(
"ie_compat"=>false,
),
"css_links"=>true,
"css_theme"=>true
)

);

I don't see any change. I also changed the doctype to <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" >

Now the page will load without using the IE dev tools to force the page to render in quirks mode, which I was having to do when I took the screenshots I posted earlier.

IE8 is pretty antique...I imagine back several versions of exp ago the coolwater menu worked in IE8??, (I use it on several of my sites). In the last several versions (2.1.0+) we've added some 'shims' to help IE less than v9 cope with html5 and responsive grids. You could (temporarily) disable this within the theme template expTheme::head() config by adding:another parameter:
"meta"=>array(
"ie_compat"=>false,
),

It's 2.2.3 patch 4. I used coolwater as the basis for theme.

How can I get the menu to style the same in both IE8 and other browsers?
