Instead of fixing compatibility issues in web applications and add-ons, you can make the web application or website work natively in Windows Internet Explorer 8 standards mode by writing your code to the most recent web standards. To fully assess any problems in your application or website, you should research the root cause of the problem. The Website Troubleshooting Guidance white paper describes how the Internet Explorer team debugs Internet Explorer 8 issues. For example, the team determined root causes by using the Developer Tools and logically reducing possible issues. The following sections describe several tools to help simplify the debugging process.

The settings within config.winrm relate to configuring how Vagrant will access your Windows guest over WinRM. As with most Vagrant settings, the defaults are typically fine, but you can fine tune whatever you would like.

Mickael Ruau's insight:
##modern-ie-vagrant Based on the virtual machine images released with the Modern.IE project, modern-ie-vagrant makes testing IE easier with help from Vagrant. The machine images in modern-ie-vagrant are based on the original images with the addition of activating WinRM to make them compatible with the Vagrant WinRM communicator.

Sjoerd innocently mentions this trick in a comment on the blog of the W3C HTML WG co-chair, Sam Ruby: Btw, if you want CSS rules to apply to unknown elements in IE, you just have to do document.createElement(elementName). This somehow lets the CSS engine know that elements with that name exist Ian Hickson, lead editor of the HTML5 spec, stood surprised, along the rest of the web, that he had never heard this trick before and was happy to report: “This piece of information makes building an HTML5 compatibility shim for IE7 far easier than had previously been assumed.” John Resig, one day later, wrote the post that coined the term “HTML5 Shiv”. While it technically is a “shim” and John admitted this later, the proliferation of assorted HTML5 shims nowadays makes a good case for us to continue using “shiv” for this solution. Chris Wilson, then of the IE Team, said “I want to jam standards support into (this and future versions of) Internet Explorer. If a shiv is the only pragmatic tool I can use to do so, shouldn’t I be using it?”

ievms - Automated installation of the Microsoft IE App Compat virtual machines
Mickael Ruau's insight:
Microsoft provides virtual machine disk images to facilitate website testing in multiple versions of IE, regardless of the host operating system. With a single command, you can have IE6, IE7, IE8, IE9, IE10, IE11 and MSEdge running in separate virtual machines.

Nous développons une application Web destinée à des utilisateurs corporate sous Internet Explorer 9. Nos Product Owners utilisent Windows et IE 11, nous développons sous Mac OS X, et les serveurs tournent sous Linux. Dans cet environnement hétérogène, nous utilisions déjà Vagrant pour gérer plusieurs VM Linux : intégration continue, bases de données, conteneur Web.

Login Instructions Login Information (for Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10 VMs): IEUser, Passw0rd! Instructions to set password for XP VMs: 1.Using virtualization platform of choice, load the XP VM 2.Go to Control Panel | User Accounts 3.Select IEUser 4.Select "Create a password" link and enter the desired password
Mickael Ruau's insight:
D’autres VM avec plusieurs versions de Windows et d’IE ont été mises à disposition gratuitement par Microsoft, pour les développeurs Web, avec une licence temporaire pour un usage de test. On peut théoriquement les utiliser aussi facilement : vagrant box add win7-ie11 http://aka.ms/vagrant-win7-ie11vagrant init win7-ie11vagrant upvagrant rdp En pratique c’est plus compliqué, car aucun accès à distance n’est configuré par défaut. Pas de SSH, et pas de RDP (le protocole de Microsoft).
Nous allons voir comment personnaliser une box Microsoft pour corriger ces problèmes, et comment la redistribuer.

Testing multiple versions of Internet Explorer is possible from any OS including Mac and Linux using free VMs from modern.ie.
Mickael Ruau's insight:
Windows Licensing RestrictionsAll modern.ie VMs are full editions of Windows — you can install and use any software you like including other browsers. To prevent anyone using these images to run unlicensed copies of Windows indefinitely, they expire after 30 days (unless you enter an activation key). At that point, the OS will randomly reboot and become mostly unusable. You can, however, retain a copy of the downloaded files (or the VirtualBox OVA) and import the VM again. Fortunately, there is a way to extend Windows expiration. When you start receiving activation messages, run a command prompt as an administrator inside the VM. This is achieved by right-clicking the shortcut and choosing Run as administrator. Then, for XP VMs, enter: rundll32.exe syssetup,SetupOobeBnkor, for Windows Vista, 7 or 8.1 enter: slmgr /rearmThis can be done twice so, in effect, your license is extended to 90 days.

Throw it on the html tag

Why?
I left an empty class in there because you’ll probably be putting a no-js in there or something else. If not, delete.
