I am nearly finished with a huge site build and have discovered multiple issues in IE 8. The layout is broken, the styles are not appearing correctly, buttons don’t appear right, etc. Can you please help? I did already try one fix of adding slashes to lines 22 and 24 of the register plugins php file, but that didnt seem to help. I am desperate. please..
of course:

thank you.
I tested it with the IE8 emulator: http://www.screenr.com/4yHH and I didn’t notice any broken layouts. The styles/buttons, etc. look a bit different but that’s expected and unfortunately not fixable because IE8 does not support modern css3 attributes like border-radius, css gradients, box-shadow, rgba, etc.
Btw – please replace:
<mailto: (Email address hidden if logged out) > (Email address hidden if logged out) </a>
with
<a href="mailto: (Email address hidden if logged out) "> (Email address hidden if logged out) </a>
hmmm – did you REALLY check ie8 compatibility? There’s a lot of issues:
– icon-boxes are not displayed correctly (the circle behind the icon does not show up)
– sometimes icons are not displayed (e.g. in boxes)
– buttons loose their color
ect..
I know that ie8 is really bad regarding css but unfortunately still a lot of companies run windows xp and ie8……
Hi,
Like Dude said IE8 doesn’t support css properties like background-color, gradients, box-shadows, css animation etc.
Please add this on your custom.css or Quick CSS to fix elements without background colors.
.alternate_color, main_color {
background: red;
}
Change the color value.
To fix the button, please use this
.alternate_color .avia-color-theme-color-subtle {
background: #122638;
color: white;
}
Regards,
Ismael
