Internet Explorer Compatibility Error

Now I am in a completely disastrous situation.

According to Google Analytics, 96% of the users of my site are in Chrome and Firefox. However, at the beginning of next week, we have one very important client, and their entire organization will use Internet Explorer.

I need some time to quickly make the basic functions of my IE site compatible. I can pay a consulting company if necessary, but I don’t know how to make my site compatible - I don’t know IE development tools, and I don’t know, first of all, why IE doesn’t do the right thing.

What is the best way to solve my problem? I don’t even see the equivalent of firebug / inspect for IE. I will only worry about IE 9 at the moment - this company is in the very latest IE.

Let me know, I'm completely in a panic!

Below is my suggestion.

  • IE tester is a great tool for testing your site in all IE versions.

  • Consider using specific tags specific to IE. How:

    <!--[if lt IE 7 ]> <html lang="en" class="no-js ie6"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7 ]>    <html lang="en" class="no-js ie7"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8 ]>    <html lang="en" class="no-js ie8"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 9 ]>    <html lang="en" class="no-js ie9"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if (gt IE 9)|!(IE)]><!--><html lang="en" class="no-js"><!--<![endif]-->

  • Consider using a modernizer if your site uses HTML5 or CSS3.

  • If your site uses placeholder in forms, IE does not support it. So consider using something like IE placeholder polyfill .
  • press F12 for the developer tool.
  • IE has a different window model .
  • , IE CSS.
  • IE (..)

If I were in your place, I would not change the existing work page of a website, I would duplicate it, make changes to make it work in Internet Explorer, and then make your site a detected browser that they use, and load the appropriate work page. Given that you need to make these changes so quickly, you don’t want to risk changing what will ruin the site in Firefox and Chrome.
