chosen doesnt work on internet explorer, has any one noticed?? how to solve it?

From FAQ at Chosen page:

What browsers are supported?
All modern browsers are supported (Firefox, Chrome, Safari and IE9). Legacy support for IE8 is also enabled.

Could you be more specific? What version of IE are you using?

am using internet explorer 9

Demo page works as excepted, so it must be a problem with your JS or CSS files.

Any JS errors showing up on console? Everything fine on other browsers?

ya firefox also its proper

I just tested the latest Chosen on IE9 & IE8 and saw no issues. Are you running the latest versions?

In general, saying something "doesn't work" is not a good way to file a bug report. Please be specific with the issues you are seeing, provide browser versions and, if possible, include a link to an example.

Closing, but feel free to re-open with more specific details.

I must say that chosen is the best select script I have ever seen.
But to bad that you cant make a version that works on all Internet explorer versions.
At least down to internet explorer 7. You now how it is with a lot of people they dont upgrade so fast
to a newer version, dont even understand that they can. I installed it on my webpage, but got a lot of complaints that
it didn´t work. So I had to remove it again, nothing I liked to do, but for me its really importent that it works for all my visitors.

Please make it work on earlier "Internet explorer"(IE) versions. Cant wait until you solved the problem, will not hesitate
to install it again.

Be cool

Rather than try to make Chosen work in every legacy browser out there, we opted for some progressive enhancement. Chosen gets applied to a regular form select box in modern browsers. In IE7, the select element remains untouched and will work just like any other select box out there.

Writing Chosen this way has made it easier to iterate on and improve.

@betton01: It is possible to make Chosen work in IE7. It's just really dirty. See #270.

The problem occurs when jQuery's browser sniffing wrongly assumes IE8 is IE7. No idea why it ends up in IE7 mode, but that is why the markup never gets written. Not a CSS issue.

I have a similar problem it doesn't work in IE9 [because of the compatibility view]. Once i change from compatibility view to normal it starts working. Is there a way to make it work in compatibility view?

@avneesh123 You are better off creating a new issue for your problem, but don't forget to add some more information on what is not working, do you see any errors, is it visually not working etc. Perhaps a screenshot visualizing your problem?
