Description:
------------
I am using WinXP and IE Ver. 8.0.6001 (I can't afford to upgrade or update all of my software necessary if I update the OS to Win 7 or 8, so that is not a solution to this issue.) The new PHP.net website design has a list of functions down the left side of the page and places the documentation for a specific function to the right of it in Chrome and Firefox, but NOT in IE Ver. 8., where it stacks the documentation UNDER the left list/menu. This means I have to scroll way down the page unnecessarily to read the function description, list of parameters, and so on. Further, the comments by other users have space allowed for them, but there is no text showing. Comments are just blank in IE (but not Chrome or Firefox). This makes the documentation less easy to use and incomplete in the new design. I don't wish to switch to Chrome or Firefox and have to learn where they place everything, so changing browsers is not an option I want to have to resort to. No doubt these issues are inherent to the way the new site is coded, so there is probably a way to fix this for the millions (or at least thousands) of users who are still using WinXP and IE 8. (Issue #29321 does NOT relate to this.)

Expected result:
----------------
I expect expect everything to be formatted so it is convenient and visible in the new website design, so even users stuck back with WinXP and IE 8 can easily use the documentation.

Actual result:
--------------
I have to scroll way down the page to see the documentation, and the user comments are not shown. (IE 8 only)

Can you attach some screenshots? That would help.

Thanks.

I made a pair of screen shots for this. I cannot figure out a way to attach them to the bug.

However, I noticed the error icon was on, so I clicked on it, and here's what I got:

I've fixed the JS error, but have neither the time nor the inclination to deal with the formatting problems. Unassigning myself, although my personal feeling is that supporting anything older than IE 9 is a fool's errand.

PHP.net's support for browsers only covers current stable and prior release and this issue is related to an unsupported OS/Browser combination I am closing this one off.

Should someone want to support this, feel free to reopen and assign.
