A quick search for "opensource page layout" found this: [link] and apparently they have a new publisher importer as of May 22. Probably not a complete solution but might do what you need. I may need to check it out myself!

Any CSS experts around? I'm trying to optimize a site for mobile, and I just realized that my @media calls aren't working in IE8. Google tells me IE8 doesn't support @media--of course--but even the javascript file I found that's supposed to fix that (css3-mediaqueries.js) isn't helping. Does anyone know of any other possible fixes before I have to resort to an IE specific stylesheet?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Using <!--[if IE 8]> is actually less kludgy than the alternatives.

Phoo, I was afraid of that. I hate maintaining the same data in multiple places.
ETA: Thanks!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
OTOH, what mobile devices use IE LTE 8? None. Depending on what changes you need to make (and whether you're building mobile-first or desktop-first), it may be safe to serve IE8 the normal stylesheet; it won't see your queries at all, but there are no mobile devices that need to.

Yeah, that's what I'm figuring. It's still very annoying, though.

SO annoying.
One other thought -- if you don't want to maintain a separate IE stylesheet, you can still use the conditional comment approach to add a class to your html or body element, then use that as a hook for styling it in your main stylesheet -- something like
t !--[if IE 8]
t html class="ie
t ![endif]--
t !--[if !(IE 7) | !(IE 8) ]
t !--
t html

Holy crap that's some messed up quickedit. But you get the idea. It's still hacky, but if you find it easier to keep everything in one stylesheet rather than two, it can help.

My head hurts now. *g* I think I'll stick with the two stylesheets. But thanks for all the suggestions.

Is there a way to reopen a tab that was accidentally closed? I see the "reopen last browsing session" but that only gets me some seemingly random "not really my last browsing session tab" and is still not what I want. I want to reopen my most recently closed tab. That I didn't mean to. Because the coloring is so subtle in IE that I can't tell what tab correlates to what page I'm currently looking at! (The fact that it's semi-transluscent and picks up my desktop image doesn't help, either).
