Bootstrap 3 Not Working In IE8

I cannot get Bootstrap 3 working on my client's site in IE8. I have scoured the web for hours reading tons of forums threads and doing all the suggestions but it is still not worki

Solution 1:

You need to change this:

<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/libs/html5shiv/3.7.0/html5shiv.js"></script>
<script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/libs/respond.js/1.3.0/respond.min.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

To something like this (using whatever is the relative path for your site):

<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="/path/to/your/libs/html5shiv/3.7.0/html5shiv.js"></script>
<script src="/path/to/your/libs/respond.js/1.3.0/respond.min.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
