Dojo 1.4 - IE 8 dojox.charting label not shown -> dojox.gfx - internet-explorer-8

I have a problem concerning dojox.charting, after updating to the new version of dojo IE 8 doesn't show the labels of my charts anymore. Seems to be a dojox.gfx text problem.
See with IE8:
http://download.dojotoolkit.org/release-1.4.0/dojo-release-1.4.0/dojox/gfx/tests/test_text.html
Any idea how to fix that?
Cheers

It looks like some IE8 fix pushed by MS broke it because we didn't modify this code for a long time.
In any case there is a ticket for this problem (reported as a charting ticket): http://bugs.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/10491
One simple fix for now is to force IE7 mode:
<meta http-equiv=“X-UA-Compatible” content=“IE=7” />
More info can be found in Understanding Compatibility Modes in Internet Explorer 8.

Bootstrap 3 CSS Responsive Grid IE8

Been combing the code and searching google/stack/forums for a while, but no luck. I've got a layout built with bootstrap 3 that uses should be 4 columns at lg, 3 at md, 2 at sm and 1 at sm. It works on all browsers except ie8. On ie8, only one column is shown as the col-xs-12 is overriding everything. I have implemented the require.js script, the IE=Edge meta tag, and think I have the scripts loading in the correct order. Below is the html/css/js. Anyone catch anything that I didn't?

There was a bug in the require.js script somewhere. Pulled down the latest minified version and it suddenly worked. :P

Highcharts - IE8 not rendering chart correctly

We have a chart that is rendering incorrectly in IE8. We just updated the Highcharts.js file yesterday with the latest version as we were receiving a script error on "d.join". Now we don't get any script error and our page continues to load properly, a step in the right direction, however the chart is missing the axis and plot lines and the coloring.
Here is what the chart looks like in Chrome/IE10/IE9:
and in IE 8:
Please help me figure this out. Thanks!
It looks like your problem is due to upgrading to jQuery 2.x. jQuery has intentionally dropped support for Internet Explorer 8 and below. See http://blog.jquery.com/2013/04/18/jquery-2-0-released/
Your solution would be to either
Downgrade to jQuery 1.x
Drop your support for Internet Explorer 8

My Wordpress is completely broken in Safari

In Safari 5.1.2 on OSX
Tech.li is completely broken.
Some people mentioned an extra div tag being the cause, but that still didn't fix the issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Pretty basic: fix your xhtml errors [Invalid] Markup Validation of tech.li - W3C Markup Validator (scroll down in the validation report to see line numbers and source code). And use Firebug with Firefox, or in Chrome or Safari or IE8, use the developer tools to find and fix the javascript errors.

ie8 hangs when opening a site which uses css3

I just completed a site: http://www.justcelebrations.co.in . I haven't launched it yet because of certain problems. The site uses css3 text gradients to style text in span and border radius to style most divs. It has to be made dynamic later so I don't want to change the text effects to images or something. The problem I am facing is that the site hangs IE8. I haven't tested it in lower versions of IE. I have tested the markup thoroughly and its validated and the css too is valid except for features which are from css3 like opacity, border-radius etc. I have also added google script to make ie behave properly and mordenizer library. The site still hangs IE8. Please Help me out here..
EDIT: after a lot of testing and debugging, found out that ie<9 were crashing because of some text elements being styled by p:first-letter or h1:first-letter (which, as is the case with ie, is totally random as :first-letter is supported by IE7+ ). So all i did was separated those styles from base.css to a non-ie.css and loaded that file with a [if ! lt IE 9]
and it worked!

Can you add <!--[if IE 8 ]><html class="ie ie8" lang="en"> <![endif]--> to target fixes. As you make changes view in IE8 through IE9(F12) and play with -ie-(compared to -moz- & -o-) in your css. I would also keep a CSS 2.1 file and a CSS3 file to keep track of your new code.
It's working good here in Safari. Just to narrow this down, what if you remove all the conditional and IE specific libraries you got from Google? In my experience, all the various JS libraries that are supposed to make older IE versions behave always seem to break or conflict with some other script or library like jQuery.
Also see the answer in this thread for optimizing your page loading by placing the JavaScripts at the end of the <body> section. Perhaps in your case, loading the JS last will make some kind of difference to Explorer.

TinyMCE not working in IE9

I have been using TinyMCE WYSIWYG in CMSMS(CMS Made simple), its working in all other browsers like FF,IE7,8,Google Chrome & Safari but its not working in IE9,
When i try to update any data and then save it, its look good with successfully save message but actually its not at all saved my changes.
i'm very much tired by goggling for this issue but get no success at all.:(
i have seen that this is the issue which also occur in JOOMLA 1.5X. in joomla if we are suppose try to write anything in Editor then all save,apply and cancel button not been worked.
Please help me out from this unusual error.
i appreciate your efforts.
Thanks.
Mark Dexter from Joomla! CMS Development says:
This is a perfect example of the problems we run into when trying to
support a version like 1.5 for such a long period of time. On the one
hand, we want to stay up with current versions of 3p software. On the
other hand, we want to maintain backward compatibility. These two
goals become difficult if not impossible over such a long time period
(> 3 years). Mark
As a workaround you could use JCE, which is using a far newer version of TinyMCE and its based on it.
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/edition/editors/88
Secondly you could try manually updating TinyMCE to 3.4.x, which fixes the problem download and extract
http://github.com/downloads/tinymce/tinymce/tinymce_3.4.4.zip into /plugins/editors/tinymce
/jscripts/tiny_mce
Good Luck
Just logout from your Admin Console once and then login again..But before logging in,make sure,you change the URL in your browser..
If its http://yourdomain.com, then make it http://www.yourdomain.com and then login..
That should work :)
Another permanent fix for this is;
or you can use more advanced Editors like com_jce
Just use
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" >
In your header tag and IE9 should emulate IE8.
If that still doesn't work try to get it to render in IE7 compatibility. This is not something I would struggle with I would just turn on compatibility till the next release of TinyMCE:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" >
