IETester is known to give false readings occasionally.
Virtual servers are second-best to the actual browser, try http://browserstack.com
Hi hur2000 and Andrew,
Sorry for the late response, I just saw this thread. I have Windows7 on my home computer, and I did check my theme in IE(maybe that’s a higher version), and it worked fine. Now I only have Ubuntu so I don’t have IE installed. I know a javascript, respond.js https://github.com/scottjehl/Respond that can make IE work with media queries. However since I don’t have IE, I cannot verify this. Maybe you can try add respond.js to the <header> section of your site. I’ll add this script to the next update of my theme too (if it works).
Hi!
I also use the Pilot Fish Theme for my Homepage.
Within my company I’m forced to use Internet Explorer, Version 8.0
If I’m trying to open the site I also see different things not working. The Header Font is not shown correctly. Also the site navigation doesnt work properly.
Unfortunately I guess I’m not the only one who is forced to work with old browsers… Excuse me, I’m not a web designer.
Greetings
Andy

Derandyk,
You’re much more likely to receive help when creating your own thread, rather than posting on a 1-month-old thread.
Also if you’re not contributing to the original poster, you should create your own thread.
Internet explorer 8 does’nt support HTML 5 like nav you will need to change it for <div id=”access”> – your code -</div> , I’m looking for a function to get the browser name and version and detect IE 8 and lower to change the HTML5 tags for HTML4.1 but it will need change some CSS3 too.

You don’t need to change HTML5 elements, there are plenty of scripts (including CSS) to normalize HTML5 to work on all browsers. They basically consist of displaying block HTML5 elements.
The most popular tool for this is Boilerplate.
one solution will be this :
Java script
if(navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" && navigator.appVersion > 8){
//action for upper version than a IE8 }
else {
//action for lower version than IE( }
</script>
It’s just a tip.

Example in php code :
<?php
$browser = $_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’];
$browser = substr(“$browser”, 25, 8);
if ($browser == “MSIE 6.0”){
// action to exec for IE6
}
?>
Hey guys,
thanks so far for your help. I appreciate that very much.
But as I said: I’m not a webdesigner.
Could you exactly tell me, WHICH CODE has to be implemented in WHICH FILE on WHICH POSITION?
Thx so far!
Andy
