在Twitter8中，Twitter Bootstrap和respond.js响应过快

Question

I'm having some issues with testing Twitter Bootstrap v3 in IE8. The problem seems to be the layout goes completely responsive in IE8 instead of showing the desktop version on the desktop using Windows 7.

This is the code in my head:

    <!-- Just for debugging purposes. Don't actually copy this line! -->
<!--[if lt IE 9]><script src="../../docs-assets/js/ie8-responsive-file-warning.js"></script><![endif]-->

<!-- HTML5 shim and Respond.js IE8 support of HTML5 elements and media queries -->
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
  <script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/libs/html5shiv/3.7.0/html5shiv.js"></script>
  <script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/libs/respond.js/1.3.0/respond.min.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

I see one of their examples works just fine, so I'm not sure what's going wrong here.

Answer 1

Respond.js only works with local CSS files unless additional steps are taken. I would recommend serving your 'bootstrap.css' file locally as a simple fix.

Answer 2

Thanks! I think that is the issue. I didn't realize you can't use the CDN.

I just found this thread as well that goes over several things: IE8 issue with Twitter Bootstrap 3

I'll go through and I'm sure that and some combination of these items should do the trick.
