Hi, I built my site using bootstrap 3 and I thought that if I used respond.js for old ie, that I would get the support for media queries etc.
Unfortunately It seems like thats not the case and when I test using Microsoft developer tools and go to ie8 and ie8 standards mode the site breaks.
Any tips on how to get it to work?

Could you try loading this:
<!--[if lte IE 8]>
<script src="../../assets/js/html5shiv.js"></script>
<script src="../../assets/js/respond.min.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
Also download respond from the latest version, as this maybe the fault:
Hope this helps.

29,401 PointsThanks I tried that and it sadly didn't work. I also tried a more powerful option called css3-media-queries.js and that didn't work either. SMH I might just abandon Bootstrap for this project.
Thanks for your help. I appreciate the community here.

Its not as bad as you think (add it as a bookmark), it's a shame since you have done all the leg-work anyway.
Hope all ends well.
