This is a visual file to test the respond.js polyfill with IE browser 8 and to test a workaround with IE versions 7 and 6. An image, an external stylesheet (generating a silver border), the main stylesheet (with mediaqueries) are hosted at a CDN, Amazon Cloudfront. In the case of IE8 detection with a conditional comment, the respond.js is applied with a proxy to enable cross-domain communication.
The present respond javascript is version 1.1.0 from January 30, 2012.
In the case of IE 7 or IE 6 detection with conditional comments, a specific stylesheet overwites the external and the origin stylesheet. A silver background and a brown border around the image container is rendered as a workaround.
Results :
IE8 : OK, works as designed
IE7 : OK, works as designed
IE6 : OK, works as designed

The media queries in the included CSS file simply change the body's background color depending on the browser width. If you see any colors aside from black, then the media queries are working in your browser. You can resize your browser window to see it change on the fly.
