is there any general reason for which Font Awesome doesn't show up in IE 10?
Another question - what's the #font-face thing all about? Do I have to use it? I haven't done it so far and it works well in Firefox and Chrome, could that be the reason for IE?
(excuse my ignorance, I'm a complete newbie)
I had the same issue, the actual cause was https secured connection
I was using https protocol changed it to http
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.5.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.5.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
I Hope it helps
If it is working on other browsers, make sure you are not in compatibility mode or have not accidentally put your site on the compatibility list in IE.
If it doesn't work in others, it has to have 2 classes: fa AND fa-blah (assuming Font Awesome 4.x; Font Awesome 3.x has different notation)
Also, check your developer tools F12 to make sure all the fonts and CSS/JS is loading into the site.

I'm testing my website on different browser and everything seems working perfectly fine until i test it on Internet Explorer (Browser Mode: IE8 and Document Mode: IE8 Standards) i have no idea actually on what's happening but when i switch to Document Mode: IE9 it will work :(..
Anyone experiencing this kind of issue? hopefully someone can give me some explanation or solution on this one thanks in advance guys
By the way i'm using wordpress on my website and i try to use the Respond.js plugin and still no luck :(
Use the below code which will include these JavaScripts for IE versions less than 9. Using the html5.js file you can also use HTML5 tags in IE8.
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="//css3-mediaqueries-js.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/css3-mediaqueries.js"></script>
<script src="//html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
IE8 doesn't understand media queries out of the box.
If you need this functionality in IE<9, one option is to use respond.js .
Another option is css3-mediaqueries-js
They are similar and I've had good success with both. Depending on the specifics of your site, sometimes one might work better than the other
Good luck!
I use Unsemantic for the first time, and I forgot to check my page on IE8. Here is the disaster : http://canapin.com/web/meteo/
Unsemantic is supposed to be IE8 compatible, but my page is messed up, and I can't figure out why.
Any idea? :(
As stated in its issue tracker, since IE8 doesn't support media queries, Unsemantic grid offers a fixed-width layout for it, through a separate css file inclusion:
<!--[if (lt IE 9) & (!IEMobile)]>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./stylesheets/ie.css?1389034275" />
<![endif]-->
Note the conditional comment avoiding the separate css for mobile versions of IE (they are supposed to support media queries):
I suppose you can download the source of the separate css from here:
http://unsemantic.com/stylesheets/ie.css
So, if you accept to have an IE8 with fixed-width layout (and it seems very reasonable to me), you don't need a javascript fix ;)
Bye bye!
for IE8 and lower you have to include a shim, which comes with the Unsemantic files.
Include the following code in your head and you should be fine:
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="./assets/javascripts/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
So, just point to the html5.js file and this should fix it. Let me know whether this worked for you.
Cheers, Marvin
I know there is the conditional comments:
<!--[if IE 9]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/ie9-only.css" />
<![endif]-->
to detect Internet Explorer 9, but what about Firefox 4? How do I load a style only for Firefox 4?
If you must detect the browser and version for FF4, the best answer is to use jQuery's browser() method.
However, I would agree with the comment by #Gareth McCaughan: if you find yourself having to do browser detection (for anything other than IE6/7 and possibly IE8), then it's very highly likely that you're doing something wrong. The fact that you're using it for IE9 in your question indicates that you're probably already getting it wrong.
All the modern browsers, including both IE9 and FF4 have excellent standards support, and a well-written page should render virtually identically in all of them.
If you do have something that renders differently in IE9 or Firefox 4 compared with other modern browsers, please specify what it is, because there may be a better solution than browser detection to get around it.
There is only one thing that I know of in FF4 which might need you to resort to this, and that's text-overflow:ellipsis, which is supported in all modern browsers except Firefox. See my earlier question on this topic here: text-overflow:ellipsis in Firefox 4? (and FF5)
You can't "detect" firefox in the same way. Conditional comments is IE only "feature". You have to detect it through user agent string on the backend. Or using javascript.
There are no conditional comments in FireFox to do this, if you really need to your best option would be to use jQuery (or similar) to load the relevant stylesheets.
$(document).ready(function() {
if ($.browser.mozilla && $.browser.version == '2.0') {
$('head').append($("<link>").attr({type: 'text/css', rel: 'stylesheet', href: 'css/firefox4-only.css'}));
}
});
I personally wouldn't recommend browser detection though, and you should be using web standards and feature detection if needed :)
I understand from my research that IE8 does annoying things like forcing itself into IE7 mode for local intranet hosts and local IP ranges. I understand from a previous question that there is no way to use conditional statements as, irrespective of whether IE8 is rendering in IE8 or IE7 mode, it will still only use the <!--[if IE 8]> conditional.
Since this question was asked a while ago (during the IE8 beta phase by the looks of things) I am wondering if this has changed or if there is any other way using conditionals to determine if IE8 is in compatibility mode.
Thanks!
No, you can't do it using conditionals.
The best way to do it is to use the document.documentMode property as described in the link Pekka posted. How can I detect if IE8 is running in compatibility view?
http://msmvps.com/blogs/paulomorgado/archive/2010/04/05/defining-document-compatibility-in-internet-explorer-8.aspx
In the end, I chose to mix the two common strategies to deal with this bug.
I created an override CSS file, which I import using conditional comments. In the event of IE 8 or 9, though, this override doesn't look as good, so I include the 'force IE into latest rendering mode' header switch, as shown below.
<!--[if lte IE 7]>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/Content/IE7Overrides.csss" />
<![endif]-->
This provides IE7 with a decent failsafe, but forces IE8 and IE9 to show it in the latest browser, which will show the CSS-based table correctly.
Hi I'm editing a website that has been made compatable with internet explorer so it doesn't work in firefox.
Is there any way to add a firefox or mozilla stylesheet?
Thanks for you help

<!--[if FIREFOX]>

You can't do anything as elegant as the Paul Irish solution for IE but you can create a FF specific set of definitions using:
#-moz-document url-prefix() { CSS BLOCK }
Before anyone starts jumping up and down screaming "THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO HAPPEN UNLESS YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG" - it totally happens when we're talking about Firefox vs Chrome vs IE font rendering on a tightly constrained grid with a lot of left to right text justification.
You might also try out the CSS Browser selector:
http://rafael.adm.br/css_browser_selector/
This simple JS file allows you to append things like .gecko and .ff3 to your CSS.
* APPENDED - 2014 *
I want to actually append this because, two years later, the standard solution is to perform feature detection through modernizr.js instead of browser detection. "Firefox" is a very blunt instrument with all the versions hanging around the net. This answer still works, it's just not the recommended solution unless you very specifically need the browser, all versions, and nothing else.
One way to do this, with php is to look at the user agent and see what browser is it. This is what I use:
Ex:
if (preg_match('/Firefox|Chrome|Opera|Safari|MSIE 8.0/', $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) {
link rel="stylesheet" href="one.css" type="text/css" media="screen"
}
else {
link rel="stylesheet" href="other.css" type="text/css" media="screen"
}
Also in the preg_match function you should enter the agents that you want.
Have in mind, if you don't know php, that the example I wrote needs editing and correct formatting.
No. The <!--[if IE]><![endif]--> syntax is Internet Explorer specific. It is a non-standard microsoft extension to CSS.
See conditional comments for more details.
No, conditional comments are entirely an Internet Explorer thing AFAIK.
However, you can create a conditional comment that IE will not parse and thus is for non-IE browsers only:
<![if !IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/AEBP_Homepage_12887/css/firefox.css" />
<![endif]>
this is however not valid HTML. There seem to be workarounds to make it valid. Check out the "Downlevel-Revealed conditional comment" paragraph in the Wikipedia article.
