html5 problem renders in ie8

i got this issue with html5 in ie8 (i know its not supported), i use HTML5 Shiv and DOCTYPE html

I got the issue that it will work when the page renders but when i do a ajax request and load (in my 开发者_JS百科case) a product it will ignore the html tags <figure> and <section>

anybody got an idea why its like this? i try to find a solutions and html5 shiv and doctype was pretty much what i found.. im ok with a jquery solution if there is any.. any ideas?

im not sure if my markup will help any in this case but ill show it anyway

<figure>
        <%= Html.ProductImageLinksThickbox("2", "1")%>
</figure>

this is the html that the browser renders

<figure/>
</figure/>

It's not wholly clear from your question that this is what you are doing, but it looks similar.

Try this, might not work, but worth a try. json response:

r = {figure: 'bllalala'}// response as a json format that returns anything u wish as suppose to raw html.

$.ajax({
....
  success: function(r){
      $('#result').append($('<figure></figure>').html(r.figure))
  }
....
})

my situation was so complex it was easier to change the html markup instead

EDIT
using this link that Alohci provided http://jdbartlett.com/innershiv/ can solve this problem using jquery to get elements that need to be html5, after the your parialview have rendered. i will update with code when i get the time and hope this is clear with i mean.
