ie8 compatibility

    Hello! I am using your theme (which i find great), and would like to get the best of what ie8 can make of it (although  i know your theme isn"t supposed to be compatible with ie before 9).

    There are 3 things that i can"t find a way to modify for ie8 :

    - background color of the navbar (it appears light grey, no matter what i do, when it is supposed to be #222222)

    - have the links working: neither the buttons nor the menu links work... (all the buttons are supposed to go down to the contact form)

    - force a white background in the contact section, in order to see the input fields (for some reason, the background of this section remains in light grey, whatever i do...)

    Have you any clues to give me?

    Thanks in advance,
    Kind regards,

    Elise

    Elise, the menu is built on bootstrap, so not too much help there except that the menu links by themselves are anchor links so they should work. is there a way to look with an error console ans see if there are any errors reposrted

    'background' CSS property is not supported in IE8?? i'm wondering

    specify background-color: #FFF; for the contact section in theme options Custom CSS but I think something else is causing the background color to change such us the contact form?

    just some ideas.

    Thanks

    Thank you.

    Thank you for your answer. 
    To keep you updated, I have been looking further in the meantime, and found that:

    - the anchor links of section tags are not taken into account by account ie8, but if I add an anchor in the content of the "page" this way :
    <a id="contact-form" name="contact-form"> </a>, the link works...

    - there is a filter used in the css of the menu styling (.navbar-inner), that seems to bother ie8 : if i set it to filter:none !important; the background-color can be changed.

    - i haven't found what prevents to change the background color in the contact section...

    Thank you for your help, it will be fine for us as it is.
