Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Bootstrap 4 for IE8 and IE9

Bootstrap 4 drops support for Internet Explorer 8 and 9, but you can add it back by simply adding a conditional statement targeting IE 8 and 9 with a CSS file and a CDN-hosted JavaScript file to polyfill HTML5 element support.

Quick start

Several quick start options are available:

  • Download the latest release
  • Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/coliff/bootstrap-ie8.git
  • Install with npm npm install bootstrap-ie8
  • Install with yarn yarn add bootstrap-ie8
  • Install with Composer composer require coliff/bootstrap-ie8:4.3.1

Usage

  1. Add <meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="ie=edge"> to the top of the of your page

  2. Add the following conditional statements to the <head> of your page but after the Bootstrap 4 CSS:

<!--[if IE 9]>
  <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/coliff/bootstrap-ie8/css/bootstrap-ie9.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<![endif]-->
<!--[if lte IE 8]>
  <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/coliff/bootstrap-ie8/css/bootstrap-ie8.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/g/[email protected]"></script>
<![endif]-->

Optional JavaScript Fix

To fix the dropdown menus and modals you can add the following to the footer:

<!--[if gte IE 9]><!-->
  <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.slim.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.14.7/umd/popper.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<!--<![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 9]>
  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/coliff/bootstrap-ie8/js/bootstrap-ie9.min.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
<!--[if lte IE 8]>
  <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/coliff/bootstrap-ie8/js/bootstrap-ie8.min.js"></script>
  <script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/js/bootstrap.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

This will load jQuery, PopperJS and Bootstrap as normal on all browsers other than IE8. IE9 will load the bootstrap-ie9.js script. IE8 will load the latest compatible version of jQuery, the unminified Bootstrap JS (the minified version causes an error) and the bootstrap-ie8.js fix.

FAQS

Q. What does this fix/polyfill?

A. Internet Explorer 9 doesn't support flexbox so there is a float-based layout fallback and a couple of other minor fixes. Internet Explorer 8 doesn't support rem units so all units are specified in pixels. Media Queries are also not supported so IE8 has a fixed-width layout (min-width 998px).

Q. Is the CSS hosted on a CDN?

A. Yes, thanks to JSDelivr minified versions are available with the direct links:

  • https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/coliff/bootstrap-ie8/css/bootstrap-ie8.min.css

  • https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/coliff/bootstrap-ie8/css/bootstrap-ie9.min.css

Q. Will you provide LESS/SASS files?

A. Maybe in a future release I'll provide SASS file (with comments).

Q. Do I need the RespondJS polyfill for IE8 like Bootstrap 3 uses?

A. No. Instead the CSS is set to be fixed-width which makes things a lot easier. You don't need to change your HTML markup, the CSS will take care of it as the (min-width:992px) media queries are all set.

Q. Where can I see a demo?

A. Right here: http://coliff.github.io/bootstrap-ie8/test.htm

Q. I don't have access to IE8/IE9 browser to test- how can I see how my site appears?

A. You could use my free Multi-Browser Screenshots Chrome Extension to see screenshots of any webpage.
