    I've been rebuilding a website using Magazine Pro. Everything looks great in Chrome and Firefox (windows), but the layout is really goofed up in various versions of Internet Explorer. This really sucks because I thought I had the site ready to launch before I realized it just doesn't work in IE. It's "mostly" OK when viewed at full resolution, but when it's resized to the different responsive sizes, things go haywire. Considering that approximately 35% of my site visitors use IE, I need to come up with a workaround.

    Is there some type of magical "make-your-site-work-in-IE" plugin. Maybe a CSS or javascript catch-all, fix-all tool? I can't be the only one with this problem.

    By the way, the problems I'm having are related to area widths. When I resize the browser windows from full-width, down to the next level, the columns don't resize appropriately. The same thing when it shrinks down to tablet size view.

    It's like IE doesn't respect all of the width settings.

    Well, I ended up solving my own problem... mostly. The majority of my site visitors are using IE8, which doesn't support Media Queries, which responsive themes require. So I installed a plugin called WP Fossil, which adds a couple javascript files to support media queries in IE6-8. I still had to do quite a bit of tweaking to the CSS, but some of that had to do with the Genesis Responsive Slider I'm using on the home page.
