Bootstrap 3 IE7 Fix

Adds IE7 support to Bootstrap 3.

• Applies IE7-specific styles to Bootstrap components and HTML elements
• Includes bug fixes for the usual suspects: hasLayout, inline-block bug, z-index bug., etc
• VM tested for greatest reliability

Demo: https://www.lpology.com

How to Use

Add this conditional after bootstrap.css:

<!--[if lt IE 8]>
  <link href="css/bootstrap-ie7fix.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<![endif]-->

If you're not already using Respond.js, you'll need to add it to support media queries.

Notes

• Tested with Bootstrap version 3.0.2
• Most of the core components of Bootstrap have been tested -- grid system, buttons, forms, tables, etc., but there is more to work on.
• To avoid the need for a box-sizing polyfill, the grid system is overriden with the Bootstrap 2.3.2 grid layout.
• If you want to test or help improve, Microsoft provides free VMs (here) for testing in older versions of IE. This is far more accurate than the version emulator in IE.
