#Bootstrap 3 for IE7 (Beta)
Bootstrap 3 drops support for Internet Explorer 7, but you can add it back by simply adding this conditional CSS.
<!--[if lt IE 8]>
<link href="/css/bootstrap-ie7.css" rel="stylesheet">
<![endif]-->- Boostrap 3 uses the box-sizing property for layouts which is not natively supported by IE7. The polyfill 'boxsizing.htc' is required: https://github.com/Schepp/box-sizing-polyfill

Q. Do I need to make any changes to my HTML to add support for bootstrap3-ie7?
A. Nope! Just include the conditional IE7 stylesheet and you're ready to go!
-
Q. What about rounded corners, box shadows and gradients for IE7. How can I get those?
A. I recommend CCS3Pie for adding support for those CSS3 properties to older IE. http://css3pie.com/. If you use that you can add this to your CSS to quickly add border-radius https://gist.github.com/coliff/5618329

Q. What about Internet Explorer 6?
A. Although this CSS does not include IE6-specific fixes, it does fix the webfonts icon, so it's worthwhile using the conditional code 'if lt IE 8' rather than 'if IE 7'.
-
Q. Does this include add support for all the new Glyphicons included in Bootstrap 3.0.1?
A. Yep!
- This is not complete yet. I'm working on fixing some issues to match the final Bootstrap 3.0.1 CSS changes. Please open a pull request If you've fixed something.
- As this is only a CSS stylesheet there may be problems with using Bootstrap 3's JavaScript in IE7.
