Bootstrap CDN Does Not Work In IE8

Post a Comment
I am trying to publish my website using Bootstrap CDN and want it to work correctly in IE8. However, when referencing the Bootstrap CSS on my web server, Bootstrap works perfectly

Solution 1:

What caused the problem is the limitation of respond.js. According to README of respond.js, respond.js can not parse s hosted on CDNs by default. So, adding codes is required. The following is the example working correctly in IE8.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
    <title>brief example</title>
    <link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css"  />
    <!--[if lt IE 9]>
      <script type="text/javascript" src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/html5shiv/3.7.2/html5shiv.min.js"></script>
      <script type="text/javascript" src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/respond/1.4.2/respond.min.js"></script>
      <link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/.html" id=""  />
      <link href="respond.proxy.gif" id=""  />
      <script src="respond.proxy.js"></script>
    <![endif]-->
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="container">
      <div class="row">
        <div class="col-sm-6">
          left side
        </div>
        <div class="col-sm-6">
          right side
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

respond.proxy.gif is the file downloaded from https://github.com/scottjehl/Respond/raw/1.4.2/cross-domain/respond.proxy.gif. respond.proxy.js is the file downloaded from https://github.com/scottjehl/Respond/raw/1.4.2/cross-domain/respond.proxy.js.


Solution 2:

Instead of 

https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css

Use

//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css

(omit the "https:")


Solution 3:

I think, this is not problem. Try to run your project from any server. like localhost or webserver. I prefer to use webserver. May be problem will be solved.
