Altitude Pro IE 8 Support?

[Amber]

I've just launched a new site with the Altitude Pro theme and I notice, when checking with browserstack, that is doesn't degrade nicely at all with IE 8. Understandably it is a very old browser but I'd like to somehow cater to the few people that still use it and have it degrade nicely so they can still use the site. Are there any snippets or tutorials or other articles I can read up on in order to do this?

I recommend you try using an actual, real version of IE8 rather than a simulator, and see if you still have the problem before you go to a huge amount of trouble trying to fix a problem that might not exist.

IE8 is supported until Jan 2016, so it's not unreasonable to want to make it work if you feel your prospective audience may be using IE8 (you''ve got browser traffic stats, right?)

I don't know anyone that has ie8 actually installed; the emulation in the current version of IE does show some ugliness. You could test with a virtual machine from http://dev.modern.ie/tools/vms/.

You could roll your own solution with Modernizr http://modernizr.com/ or try a plugin for some help https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/ie8.

Thank guys! It looks like I'll have to find some time and get Parallels back up and download some vm's to test and check things out the way I want. Thanks Tom for the handy links!!
