Re: Internet explorer 8 plugin?
Just add manually as first line after the <head> tag in your template index.php
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

Re: Internet explorer 8 plugin?
Be carefull doing this it switches your browser to comapability view and can cause your site to display incorrectly. I wish somthing would be done about these issues, Its a pain relying on people having to use fire fox to display a joomla site correctly.

Re: Internet explorer 8 plugin?
The only good solution is to create specific css for ie8 with a conditional statement.

Re: Internet explorer 8 plugin?
Yeh that's easier said than done if you know what you are talkng about. I have just spent alot of money building my site with joomla and sobi only to find out when im 98% complete that it does not work correctly in IE8 this really made me mad. Now windows 7 is released it default with IE8 and 80% of users use IE8 ive just thrown my money down the toilet.

infograf768: correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought IE8 did away with conditionals and expressions?

Re: Internet explorer 8 plugin?
hello to all,
i use this plugin on my two sites without any problem
http://www.joomtorial.com/downloads/plu ... patibility
unzip the package because there are plugins for both joomla versions.

This plugin just adds the code I pasted above when loading the template.Abu Ilias wrote:hello to all,

The conditional may be necessary in your template to load the correct CSS.jeffchannell wrote:infograf768: correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought IE8 did away with conditionals and expressions?
For example a specific IE7 css if the CSS are IE8 aware, or the reverse.
We have changed such a conditional in ja_purity in the next version of Joomla, 1.5.15, because it was breaking display in IE8
Was
Code: Select all
<!--[if gte IE 7.0]>
<style type="text/css">
.clearfix {display: inline-block;}
</style>
<![endif]-->
Code: Select all
<!--[if IE 7.0]>
<style type="text/css">
.clearfix {display: inline-block;}
</style>
<![endif]-->

Re: Internet explorer 8 plugin?
This wa a really good advice. When I changed this in my site, suddenly IE8 displayed ok.

You should put it on your webpage, as I think a lot of people have troubles wit this

Re: Internet explorer 8 plugin?
It's sad, but this actually doesn't help my website work right. When an IE8 a user clicks "compatibility view" it works just fine, but not if I ad any of these extra scripts or plugins. This is really killing my traffic.
