How to make a modern website which deals good with IE7?

Question

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!

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.
