I am creating a site using the new Twitter Bootstrap. The site looks fine and works in all required browsers except IE8.
In IE8 it seems to be displaying elements of the mobile version but stretched across the full screen of my desktop. I believe the problem I'm having is that Twitter bootstrap is mobile first. So for some reason IE8 is going for this option.
I also notice that the container class does not seem to be pulling in the max-width CSS properties as intended. Can anyone see what I've done wrong?

I have resolved below steps.
(1) installed Respond.js module for drupal 7. (2) lessphp module for drupal 7 set in libraries, instead of module folder. (3) (3.1)
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">(3.2)
using cdn bootstrap from theme setting.
To learn more, review my website blog for drupal design and development www.devangsolanki.com
Just as a heads up. I had the same problem and none of the above fixed it for me. Eventually I found out that respond.js doesn't parse CSS referenced via @import. I had the whole
bootstrap.min.cssimported via@importinto mymain.css.So make sure you don't have any CSS that contains your media queries referenced via @import.
After verifying:
Still col-lg, col-md, and col-sm were not working. Finally I moved the references to bootstrap to be before the references to html5shiv.js and respond.js and it all worked.
Here is a snippet:
Needed to add -
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">I was using Bootstrap 3 - had it working on IE on my local.
I put it live didn't work in IE.
Just Bootstrap doesn't include that line of code in their templates, I'm not sure why but it might be due to it not being W3C compatible.
