Older versions of IE have problems supporting the newer JavaScript libraries and HTML5 tags.  In the previous blog we've created responsive layout in ASP.NET MVC.  In this blog we are going to use conditional comments to support older versions of Internet Explorer (IE).  Since IE 9 seems to be the cutoff point we will use it in our conditional comment base condition to decide whether we want to do something different to support IE.  We will be working with the MvcApp project. Step-By-Step Instructions : 1.  Open the MvcApp application 2.  Open the _Layout.cshtml 3.  Inside the <head> tag <!--[if lt IE 9]> <script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/html5shiv/3.7.2/html5shiv.min.js"></script> <script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/respond/1.4.2/respond.min.js"></script> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <![endif]--> The code above

The Bootstrap version will look like the screenshot below. Step-By-Step Instructions: 1.  Open the MvcApp project 2. Open the BundleConfig.cs file in the App_Start folder and type in the following code using System.Web; using System.Web.Optimization; namespace MvcApp { public class BundleConfig { public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles) { bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jquery", "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/ 2.1.4/jquery.min.js").Include("~/Scripts/jquery-{version}.js")); bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/bootstrap","https://maxcdn.bootstrap

The JQuery library by design uses only two global namespace so that it would not conflict with other JavaScript libraries. $ - the dollar is used as a reference to JQuery namespace Also used by Prototype library, YUI and mootools jQuery - is also used to reference to jQuery namespace, this the more unique reference of the two options, but nobody really uses it So what do you do if you wanted to use jQuey and Prototype on the same page?  Well jQuery can concede the $ sign to the other libraries with the code jQuery.noConflict() function This sample code shows how jQuery gives up the $ sign to the JavaScript library Prototype <!DOCTYPE html> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>JQuery No Conflict</title> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/prototype/1.7.2.0/prototype.js"></script> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="t
