Not sure if it will fix your particular issue but worth sharing anyway   I had issues with twitter boot strap in IE  No rounded corners  Navigation menu not collapsing  Spans not sitting in correct location  even some images not displaying   Strangely  site works okay in IE when run through visual studio debugger  its once deployed to a server that the problem occurs   Try using IE developer tools  F12 is keyboard shortcut   Check your browser mode and document mode   its at the top along side the menu bar   Problem happened for me as document was IE7 and browser was IE10 compatibility  I added a http header in IIS  Name  X-UA-Compatible Value IE EmulateIE9  Now the page loads as document - IE9 standards  browser IE10 compatibility and all the previous issues are resolved   Hope this helps   -tessi

I had the same problem and none of the other answers worked  My problem was a weird one where IE9 wasn t able to connect to any https sites  therefore since I was using the online maxcdn bootstrap files like      https   maxcdn bootstrapcdn com bootstrap 3 3 2 css bootstrap min css   none of that css and js was being applied  Going into the Advanced tab of Internet Explorer options I verified that not having  use TLS 1 0  checked caused the problem with https sites and files  and once checked my bootstrap page was formatted as expected   As others have noted use the proper doctype below  maybe a valid html4 doctype will work  but if you re starting anew might as well use html5    The respond js and html5 shim  if using that  are for IE8  IE9 doesn t need that  The code below uses the standard method of targeting ie8 and below   --Art   lt  DOCTYPE html gt   lt html lang  en  gt   lt head gt       lt meta charset  utf-8  gt       lt meta http-equiv  X-UA-Compatible  content  IE edge  gt       lt meta name  viewport  content  width device-width  initial-scale 1  gt       lt  -- HTML5 shim and Respond js for IE8 support of HTML5 elements and media queries -- gt       lt  -- WARNING  Respond js doesn t work if you view the page via file    -- gt       lt  -- if lt IE 9  gt         lt script src  https   oss maxcdn com html5shiv 3 7 2 html5shiv min js  gt  lt  script gt         lt script src  https   oss maxcdn com respond 1 4 2 respond min js  gt  lt  script gt       lt   endif -- gt   lt  head gt   lt body gt   lt  -- content -- gt   lt  body gt   lt  html gt

Just for completeness - it s worth noting that with Bootstrap 3  as per the docs  ensure the following structure in your page   It solved issues I was having with IE9 and v3    lt  DOCTYPE html gt   lt html lang  en  gt   lt head gt       lt meta charset  utf-8  gt       lt meta http-equiv  X-UA-Compatible  content  IE edge  gt       lt meta name  viewport  content  width device-width  initial-scale 1  gt   lt  head gt   lt body gt   lt  -- content -- gt   lt  body gt   lt  html gt

Internet Explorer has a maximum number of code lines for style sheet recognition    This is Bootstrap navbar style rule that set the float property for navbar items    navbar-nav  gt  li       float  left      That rule in Bootstrap 3  probably in early versions too  is on line 5247    As it says here  Internet Explorer  39 s CSS rules limits  a sheet may contain up to 4095 lines

If you are within the intranet and the settings are set to compatibility mode  then proper doctypes and respond js is not enough   Please refer to this link for more info  Force IE8 or IE9 document mode to standards and see Ralph Bacon s answer   It would be same as this    lt  DOCTYPE html gt   lt meta http-equiv  X-UA-Compatible  content  IE edge  gt

I was having a similar issue  In my case  looking at the CSS i found a position  initial   After some research  i found that mobile IE browser doesn t supports it   I simply put a position  relative instead and everything worked fine

I had similar problems as well  I put the following line of code in the head of my layout file and all seems to be fine    lt meta http-equiv  X-UA-Compatible  content  IE 9  gt
