I am using this code to test for media query support as I want to load a polyfill for e.g. IE8.
yepnope({
test : Modernizr.mq('(only all)'),
nope : ['scripts/respond.js']
});
It works (= respond.js gets loaded in oder IE), but now I've just discovered that respond.js also gets loaded in Safari.
After having read the docs I believe that respond.js is loaded because there are some kind of media queries Safari doesn't support. Is this true? How can I solve this issue?
The problem isn't that Safari doesn't support certain media queries, but that (only all) is not a valid media query. There should be no parentheses around the only keyword or the media type all:
yepnope({
test : Modernizr.mq('only all'),
nope : ['scripts/respond.js']
});
I'm using modernizr as well but found the easiest way add media query support for IE7 and IE8 was simply to use something like this in the page head
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="js/respond.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
Make sure you are calling respond.js after the CSS files have loaded.
This is working well for me.
Good luck!

I'm having a strange problem that only occurs with IE9. I'm working on a web page that has a desktop layout, and a mobile layout. Same HTML, different CSS. The problem happens with the code below:
#media only screen and (min-device-width: 768px) and (max-device-width: 1024px), only screen and (max-device-width: 640px)
All browsers, with the exception of IE9, show desktop site as needed. Mobile browsers correctly show the mobile layout. The problem with IE9 is that it also shows the mobile layout.
Now if I remove the words "only" and "screen" from the above code, IE9 then correctly displays the desktop site. The problem is, then the mobile browsers also display the desktop site. I've done some research on this, and haven't seen anything on this issue.
Thanks for reading,

Just in case anyone is crawling SO for an answer to this, the above two answers aren't solving the core problem which is answered here - CSS media query not working in IE 9
Basically inline CSS3 media queries DO work in IE9 but you have to disable Compatibilty mode -
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9">
The above meta tag needs to be placed before any other meta tags otherwise IE9 will default to compatibility mode on and will subsequently not work.
From what I can tell, it comes down to IE9 not interpreting "min-device-width" and "max-device-width".
According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ms530813.aspx it does not support those properties, only "min-width" and "max-width".
In addition, http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-mediaqueries/#error-handling states that the browser is supposed to ignore properties that it does not recognize. Not so with IE9 it seems.
Yes, use the #media (max-width: 860px) instead of max-device-width.
IE 9 just gave me a heart attack. The project media queries did not work.
Then after some minutes of googling, you have to include the CSS in the HTML.
Inline styles only!
What a drag these IE browsers are!
I usually add this to my projects and it's been working for me so far:
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="http://css3-mediaqueries-js.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/css3-mediaqueries.js"></script>
<script src="http://html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script><![endif]-->
IE compatibility mode solves the issue.
Go to Compatibility View Settings and disable the option Display intranet sites in Compatibility View.
Is there a way in JAVASCRIPT (not jquery) to stop navigating a webpage in IE8 ?
( if i use jquery, a error appears : SCRIPT5009: jquery is not defined.).
In a company is still using IE8, They want to left behind little by little, so they need to send an ALERT when the user start navigating an specific webpage.
Note: Works perfectly in IE9 and Chrome

You can put scripts inside tags like this. These tags say run these scripts on versions of Internet Explorer that are below 9. So, you could write a script that posts a notice on your page about using outdated browsers.
<head>
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="outdated-browser-notification.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
</head>
I'm trying to make media queries work on IE8 (Because my company use it, sad I know.) and I already found things like respond.js. The irritating thing is, when I use this link : http://scottjehl.github.io/Respond/test/test.html on IE8, it works perfectly...BUT ! When I download the lastest version of respond.js, and try to launch this exact same test.html page, it doesn't work ! I didn't edited anything, and even the test page written by Scott Jehl doesn't work. Some help please, before I go nuts.

Let's gather some info around the net...
In Bootstrap's test file here http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#template there are some lines in code which say:
<!-- HTML5 shim and Respond.js for IE8 support of HTML5 elements and media queries -->
<!-- WARNING: Respond.js doesn't work if you view the page via file:// -->
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/html5shiv/3.7.2/html5shiv.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/respond/1.4.2/respond.min.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
Drupal page here https://www.drupal.org/node/2173441 says:
Due to browser security rules, Respond.js doesn't work with pages
viewed via the file:// protocol (like when opening a local HTML file).
To test responsive features in IE8, view your pages over HTTP(S). See
the Respond.js docs for details.
So, lets go where we should be from the very beginning...The official docs :D
Respond.js doc
...which say, among others,
Reportedly, if CSS files are encoded in UTF-8 with Byte-Order-Mark
(BOM), they will not work with Respond.js in IE7 or IE8. Noted in
issue #97
WARNING: Including #font-face rules inside a media query will cause
IE7 and IE8 to hang during load. To work around this, place #font-face
rules in the wide open, as a sibling to other media queries.
...So if you have a problem with respond.js and ie8 be sure to make a quick check on all of the above and of course, read the official doc.
also worth reading: http://nextflow.in.th/en/keep-your-responsive-web-design-against-the-legendary-internet-explorer-ie6ie7ie8/using-response-js-to-make-ie6ie7ie8-understand-your-responsive-design/
Put response.js after all CSS you use in web page. Except you are
ready for weird action.
Response.js has an issue with CDN & domain.
Problem solved !
I had to put my project on a webserver to make it work. Just opening the html file isn't enough.
I'm making a website at the moment and for some reason the z-index of a see through overlay is not working in internet explorer (it works in everything else), therefore I want to display a warning message that the website does not support internet explorer, how can I make a div with the class "Warning" show up only in internet explorer?
I am happy to this via any method (HTML, CSS, Jquery etc) as long as it either resolves the z-index issue or makes the warning div show.
Update: I had a friend of mine test my website and the conditional comments don't work in IE11, I want the div to be displayed in all versions of IE.
You can use a conditional statement to show the div:
<!--[if IE]>
<div class="warning">...</div>
<![endif]-->
This will work for all versions of IE, if you want to target specific versions, see here for more info.
EDIT: As GSerg has pointed out, this will only work for < IE11. For later versions of IE, you may have to rely on some JS like in this Q&A: Browser detection in JavaScript?
Html5 Boilerplate recommends this solution (checkout this link for more details):
<!--[if lt IE 8]>
<p class="browsehappy">You are using an <strong>outdated</strong> browser. Please upgrade your browser to improve your experience.</p>
<![endif]-->
Wrap your html in a conditional like so:
<!--[if lt IE 7]>[html here]<![endif]-->
the lt means 'less than'. You can target various version of IE by using lt, gt (greater than), lte (less than or equal to) and gte (greater than or equal to).
We are building a website for a client but cant seem to find the bug which causes the images under the slider not to load.
There are some posts going around about the .load function not properly working in IE.
Does anyone have an idea?
http://mbx.web-flight.nl/
Greatly appreciated.
You're problem is Internet Explorer Quirks Mode. You must define a page header in such a way that IE will load the site in standards mode. Switch IE to standards mode manually and you will see the images load.
Try the following on the page to declare DOCTYPE.
<!DOCTYPE html>
Or try to Force IE to use the latest render mode
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
Learn more about Quirks mode here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quirks_mode
Ultimately the BEST solution is to address the problem at the server level if you have access to do so. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj676913%28v=vs.85%29.aspx To learn about configuring web servers to specify document modes.
This is what I see. Does anyone see the same as me. If not, I wonder if it is related to Quirks mode.
On IE 10 for me works fine, but in the IE 9 and lower not works.
This could be happens because the IE 9 don't have some elements of HTML5.
I think that you put this in your file will woks.
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="js/html5shiv.js"></script>
<script src="js/respond.min.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
Made a test.
I hope help you.

After allot of searching the bug had to do with the imagesLoaded function which was being used which is part of:
http://isotope.metafizzy.co/
IE does not seem to play nice with it so I made the carousel to initialize on window’s load event (jQuery(window).load) instead of “imagesLoaded”.
