ie8 hangs when opening a site which uses css3
I just completed a site: http://www.justcelebrations.co.in . I haven't launched it yet because of certain problems. The site uses css3 text gradients to style text in span and border radius to style most divs. It has to be made dynamic later so I don't want to change the text effects to images or something. The problem I am facing is that the site hangs IE8. I haven't tested it in lower versions of IE. I have tested the markup thoroughly and its validated and the css too is valid except for features which are from css3 like opacity, border-radius etc. I have also added google script to make ie behave properly and mordenizer library. The site still hangs IE8. Please Help me out her开发者_开发技巧e..
EDIT: after a lot of testing and debugging, found out that ie<9 were crashing because of some text elements being styled by p:first-letter or h1:first-letter (which, as is the case with ie, is totally random as :first-letter is supported by IE7+ ). So all i did was separated those styles from base.css to a non-ie.css and loaded that file with a [if ! lt IE 9] and it worked!

Can you add <!--[if IE 8 ]><html class="ie ie8" lang="en"> <![endif]-->
to target fixes. As you make changes view in IE8 through IE9(F12) and play with -ie-(compared to -moz- & -o-) in your css. I would also keep a CSS 2.1 file and a CSS3 file to keep track of your new code.
It's working good here in Safari. Just to narrow this down, what if you remove all the conditional and IE specific libraries you got from Google? In my experience, all the various JS libraries that are supposed to make older IE versions behave always seem to break or conflict with some other script or library like jQuery.
Also see the answer in this thread for optimizing your page loading by placing the JavaScripts at the end of the <body>
section. Perhaps in your case, loading the JS last will make some kind of difference to Explorer.
