bootstrap/css/ie.css :
This is bsie additional css patch, its most content can not be writen in .less file, it must follow bootstrap-ie6.css in <head> block.
js/bootstrap-ie.js :
This javascript file patch some problem which can not be done by pure CSS approach.
bootstrap/img/glyphicons-halflings.png-8.png :
This image file is transparent icons for IE6, it's a 8 bit png image, not very perfect, but I think it can be accepted.
bootstrap/less-ie6 :
There are all patched .less files, you can compile bootstrap-ie6.less with lessc to get your patch css file -- bootstrap-ie6.css
In bsie root directory, these file is demo:
test-XXX.html, for example test-buttons.html test-form.html
p-1.html...p-N.html, these file is a copy of bootstrap example pages
Step 1, In <head> block, add following stylesheet:
<!-- Bootstrap css file v2.2.1 --> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css"> <!--[if lte IE 6]> <!-- bsie css patch --> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="bootstrap/css/bootstrap-ie6.css"> <!-- bsie additional css patch --> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="bootstrap/css/ie.css"> <![endif]--> Step 2, In end of the document, add following javascript:
<!-- jQuery 1.7.2 or higher --> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script> <!-- Optional, bootstrap javascript library --> <script type="text/javascript" src="bootstrap/js/bootstrap.js"></script> <!--[if lte IE 6]> <!-- bsie js patch, it will only execute in IE6 --> <script type="text/javascript" src="js/bootstrap-ie.js"></script> <![endif]--> Step 3, Optional accoding to your situation:
IE6 Notice: : call $.bootstrapIE6(el) for every new html snippet (for ajax html content)
/** * make elements in container el to be compatible with IE6 */ if ($.isFunction($.bootstrapIE6)) $.bootstrapIE6(el); IE6 currently not support nested tabs control, because IE6 don't support child css selector
IE6 hack
_zoom:1; IE6-7 hack
*zoom:1; hasLayout (clear float):
.container { zoom:1; } other css property which will trigger hasLayout:
position: absolute float: left | right display: inline-block width: except 'auto' height: except 'auto' zoom: except 'normal' overflow: hidden | scroll | auto overflow-x/-y: hidden | scroll | auto position: fixed min-width: any value max-width: except 'none' min-height: any value max-height: except 'none' writing-mode: tb-rl /* only for MS */ following css property will clear hasLayout:
width: auto; height: auto; max-width: none; /* IE7 */ max-height: none; /* IE7 */ position: static; float: none; overflow: visible; zoom: normal; writing-mode: lr-t; In one selector, following css will not set hasLayout=false:
.element { display:inline-block; display:inline; } inline-block:
`.container { zoom:1; display:inline; } transparent color:
.element { border-color:pink/* rarely used color */; filter:chroma(color:pink); } * notice: the filter will cause disappeared of absolute element which in relative container body background color:
body { /* Faild: Sometime, it will not render whole page by gray color */ background-color: gray; } * html { /* Success! */ background-color: gray; } IE6-7 ul.dropdown-menu must add this style: *width:explicit-width;
/* for example */ *width:180px; If you have some patch for these library, Please send to: ddouble.cn@gmail.com
