Answer 1

I had a problem while loading a angularjs file on IE. It worked perfeclty as expected on Chrome and Firefox but was giving error as angular not defined and what not. After searching on Internet I applied following fix to my code

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1" />

and now it displays the page.

It should work and how you achieve that will depend on the application you are writing. Basically, you have to add extra codes to handle IE8. The AngularJS guide on IE should be a good place to start.

However, there could be situations where you run into problems. For example, when you want to use the "X-UA-Compatible" meta tag. An option could be to use the Google Frame plugin but Google has stopped updates on it from January 2014.
