Not compatible with IE8 about uikit HOT 4 CLOSED

sorry IE < 9 will not be supported

from uikit.

I would like IE8 to go away as well, but I'm wondering why a blanket "not supported" statement? IE8 still has significant marketshare, esp. in a global context. UIKit is a really nice framework, it would be a shame to limit its usefulness by completely ignoring IE8.

Why not support IE8 through progressive enhancement, where IE9+ get the full experience but IE8 still gets a functional site, minus some bells and whistles?

Foundation 4 by Zurb is also targeted at IE9+, but it works in IE8 just fine, so long as Respond.js (https://github.com/scottjehl/Respond) is used as a polyfill for media queries.

Thanks

You can try http://mustaqsheikh.github.io/plg_superfossil/ if using Joomla, a WP equivalent will be released soon too.

@mustaqsheikh thanks. If all we need is to add Respond.js, then no problem. However I don't know whether that covers all IE8 issues. We're not using WP or Joomla, we're doing straight-up HTML. Thanks again
