Only works with separate CSS file - IE8

Closed this issue · 4 comments

Another issue for proper IE8 I'm afraid (running on actual XP, Document mode: IE8 Standards).

It works fine when the CSS is in it's own file, such as in this example I whipped up:

However, when the styles are actually in the markup of the page.. it doesn't work in IE8, as you can see in this example:
http://yays.co/keep/respond-test-ie8.html

This is a known issue, mentioned in the Support & Caveats section of the readme:

Respond.js doesn't parse CSS referenced via @import, nor does it work with media queries within style elements, as those styles can't be re-requested for parsing.

Cool, might be worth adding in what browsers this affects, as it seems to be fine on Chrome and Firefox :)

it seems to be fine on Chrome and Firefox

They support media queries natively - they don't need respond.js to help out :)

Touché
