Suggested IE8 Adjustments

[grayghostvisuals]

Since the modal reverts to a cropped window with a scrollbar in IE8, I suggest doing the following:

// Content Area
.modal-inner {
    .lt-ie9 & {
        background: transparent;
        height: 100%;
    }
}

.modal-content {
    .lt-ie9 & {
        overflow: visible;
    }
}

This looks a bit cleaner by removing the cropped window and scrollbar. Also another suggestion would be to increase the transparency for the base64 data URI with the IE8 overlay. Gives a bit more contrast for the content.

A bit of a bummer with the IE class names as it assumes you have conditional tags around the HTML tag.

Oh and here is the new data URI for the IE8 overlay. 90% alpha channel.

I think we should not depend on these classes atm. But we can use CSS hacks for IE8 and we can utilize these maybe.

What's the reason to have a 16x16px background image instead of a 1x1px? Optimized it has only 2 bytes more with 90% alpha channel though. I've added this in the commit above.

Yeah I figured as much. Agreed it is bad for business.

No reason. Probably was working too fast and just ended up there.

How do u want to handle this? I rly hate even bringing up IE8 but Im still supporting it :(

Here are quite a few IE8- hacks listed: http://browserhacks.com/

I will close this issue for now. We don't need a perfect support for IE8 since use is more and more fading. Apart from that: We've worked on this in the commits mentioned above.
