REM Unit Polyfill

July 28, 2014 By Ty Cahill

Project: https://github.com/chuckcarpenter/REM-unit-polyfill
Website: http://chuckcarpenter.github.io/REM-unit-polyfill/

The polyfill will test any browser for REM support and patch it up if needed, although we all know IE8 and below is where the issue lies. Once lack of support is determined, it reads all the link tags for stylesheets and finds selectors that have rules using the REM unit. It then recalculates those rules to PX and writes them in the head to override in the cascade. Magic.

Respond.js

July 28, 2014 By Ty Cahill

Project: https://github.com/scottjehl/Respond
Website: none

A fast and lightweight polyfill for min/max-width CSS3 Media Queries (for IE 6-8, and more). The goal is to enable responsive web designs in browsers that don’t support CSS3 Media Queries – in particular, Internet Explorer 8 and under. It’s written in such a way that it will probably patch support for other non-supporting browsers as well.
