I have done few sites for my clients but I came to know these are not working very well in IE7, There are still 3% people using IE7 :( What is the super quick way to fix it. You can refer me to some article or some js solution. Please advice!

  • I think your question is overly broad. There's no quick solution to *"solve all my IE7 problems"*, especially seeing how you tagged [tag:javascript], [tag:html] *and* [tag:css]. If I were you, I'd post separate, more specific questions targeting problem areas of your site in IE 7. – Andy E Feb 08 '12 at 09:20
  • Yes you are right, but this is very basic/general question. Like, Do I need to use some script like modernizr or may be separate css for IE. – Imran Feb 08 '12 at 09:27
  • I found js called ie7.js and not sure about it: http://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/ some one claimed it fix all issues. Any one use it before? – Imran Feb 08 '12 at 09:28
  • the answer could be both or neither, it depends on the problems you're having. Stack Overflow isn't the place for general questions (try http://chat.stackoverflow.com for general discussion). There's not going to be a correct answer to this question, all of the current answers just give you *"tips"* on how you *might* solve your problem. – Andy E Feb 08 '12 at 09:31

It doesn't get more super quick that this. Just remember to place it at the beginning of your scripts (in the head)

  1. Make sure your sites are not in quirks mode (ie have a valid doctype at the start of the html)

  2. Use a Javascript framework to hide the browser differences. There are several options, but MooTools or jQuery are good choices

If you're lucky, it might even work in IE6.

    an upvote for `doctype`! As far as the IE6 is concerned, don't think about it. I even can suggest you do your websites intentionally crash the IE6 )) – Oybek Feb 08 '12 at 08:46
  • don't forget that there should be no white-space before the doctype, especially in IE. – Joseph Feb 08 '12 at 09:17
  • yes for IE6 there is no problem but for IE7 we still have to support it :( – Imran Feb 08 '12 at 09:29

Consider using a CSS framework that supports IE7.

For instance, try Cascade Framework. It supports IE from IE6 upwards, is about as feature rich as Bootstrap and has a grid system more flexible than any other grid systems around.
