Making Zurb's Foundation 3 work with IE7

The following line in your stylesheet:

*behavior: url(/stylesheets/box-sizing.htc);

translates to the following address:

http://sausag.es/stylesheets/box-sizing.htc

which returns a 404. You could fix this by changing the line to:

*behavior: url(/foundation/stylesheets/box-sizing.htc);

or by moving the box-sizing.htc file down one folder.


Another solution would be to detect ie7 with conditional comments and then apply a CSS fix for columns like this:

.ie7 .columns{
    margin-right: -15px ;
    margin-left: -15px ;
    display:-moz-inline-stack;
    display:inline-block;
    zoom:1;
    *display:inline;
}

This clears the padding on the columns and fixes the grid. you can do the same on other divs or parts of the layout.

Also, you will need to fix the centered columns and the offset-by columns like this:

.ie7 .row{
    clear: both;
    text-align: center;
}

.ie7 .offset-by-three {
    margin-left:25% !important;
}
.ie7 .offset-by-seven {
    margin-left:58.33% !important ;
}

And of course the conditional comments:

<!-- paulirish.com/2008/conditional-stylesheets-vs-css-hacks-answer-neither/ -->
<!--[if IE 7]>    <html class="ie7 oldie" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8]>    <html class="no-js lt-ie9" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if gt IE 8]><!--> <html class="no-js" lang="en"> <!--<![endif]-->
