  • 0

I’m relatively new with css, but was having an issue trying to accommodate all of the browsers, not surprisingly in this case, IE.

Here is my issue recreated on JSfiddle : http://jsfiddle.net/AgdGs/3/

In IE, the main problem is that the nav bar doesn’t stay styled and will move below the logo.

I think this is a relatively easy fix, I just haven’t been able to find the answer anywhere.

Thanks in advance for the help and let me know if you need any more info.

    Versions of IE lower than 9 do not natively recognize the HTML5 semantic elements such as <header> and <nav>.

    You need this in your <head>: http://code.google.com/p/html5shiv/

    <!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="//html5shim.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

    You will also need to set the HTML5 elements to display: block:

    article, aside, details, figcaption, figure,
footer, header, hgroup, menu, nav, section {
    display: block;
}
