How to write CSS media queries in IE8?
Internet Explorer versions before IE9 do not support media queries. But we use IE’s conditional commenting to achieve this. Using this, you can specify an IE 8/7/6 specific style sheet which over writes the previous rules.
For example:
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”all” href=”style.css”/>
<!–[if lt IE 9]> <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”all” href=”style-ie.css”/>
<![endif]–>
This won’t allow for a responsive design in IE8, but could be a simpler and more accessible solution than using a JS plugin.
