 * in asteroid last ver at style.css file
    you have to change <nav> to <div> since
   ie8 does not recognize html5 so the main menu navigation does not show in appropriate
   way thanks i also want to thank the author and telling him that he is not just
   a coder but he is an artiest, this theme reflects simplicity, elegance and perfection,
   thank you for your effort 🙂

 * i’m sory it is in header.php (i was thinking in style.css in my backend brain
   heehehe )
    the code : <**nav** id=”nav”> <?php do_action(‘ast_hook_before_nav’);?
   > <!– Menu –> <?php wp_nav_menu( array( ‘theme_location’ => ‘ast-menu-primary’,‘
   container’ => false, ‘fallback_cb’ => ‘wp_page_menu’ ) ); ?> <!– Searchform –
   > <?php if ( asteroid_option(‘ast_menu_search’) == 1 ) : ?> <div id=”nav-search”
   > <form id=”nav-searchform” role=”search” method=”get” action=”<?php echo home_url(‘/’);?
   >”> <input id=”nav-s” type=”text” value=”Search” onfocus=”if (this.value == ‘
   Search’) {this.value = ”;}” onblur=”if (this.value == ”) {this.value = ‘Search’;}”
   name=”s” /> <input id=”nav-searchsubmit” type=”submit” value=”” /> </form> </
   div> <?php endif; ?> <?php do_action(‘ast_hook_after_nav’); ?> </**nav**>
 * **just change nav –> div **
    thnx
