I have been css coding for my theme that is based off from Twenty Eleven. Everything looks fine except in IE7 & IE8.

I realized that in those two mentioned browsers, my styling for the widget class “.widget” is ignored. I figured this out after doing an elimination test. Every other class that I have tested takes in the css adjustments. Only those made to .widget is not taken in by IE7 & 8.

Is there a known solution to this?

Extra information: I want the each widget to be contained within a box by implementing black borders of 1px.

    Thanks @Scott and @misczu for the help.

    I did major elimination testing and found out that it is a HTML5 issue. IE7 & 8 cannot read the new HTML5 elements and it seems my earlier outsource neglected to include the HTML5 js compatibility file. IE7 & 8 wasn’t able to process the ‘aside’ element for which the widgets were contained in.

    In the end I had to retrieve the HTML5 compatibility code from Google SVN; the one included in an outdated version of Twenty Eleven was quirky. It works properly now.
