I've been building my first wordpress site for a friend and this project has kind of begun to drag on a lot longer than I planned. Everything that could've gone wrong seemed to go wrong throughout this process. Another friend of mine has pointed out that my site doesn't work correctly in IE8. He was also experiencing problems on it in Chrome.
The site is here at Stafford Photo. I did this project for free and start my first paid project next week so I need to get this done. Would anyone be able to possibly take a look at this in internet explorer and let me know what I can do to fix it? Also, after adding drop downs for the site, my navigation tabs don't want to stay in their containers (originally they were supposed to float to the left border but I can't use the overflow property or it will not show the drop down.)
Here is a list of what I need to do:
+Fix browser compatibility issues (mainly ie) +Fix navigation tabs +remove dropdown for all touch capable devices
Also feel free to give me any design feedback. After this site I don't plan on using such difficult to code containers again. Thanks for your help guys!

When I visited the site on IE8, I noticed the following code displayed in the browser:
<!--[if gt IE8]> <![endif]--> <!--[if !IE]-->
I think the if !IE might need an end if
Also, I believe if you're testing for greater than IE8, the tag should look like this:
<!--[if gte IE 8]>
Content here....
<![endif]-->
I hope this helps you get closer to finishing your project, and good luck!

17,781 PointsYou know what I think I may have deleted that today. That might explain why the svg was funky for him. Please let me know if that changed anything.
