Ok. I looked it up.. IE8 is as old as say FireFox 3.6.28, so the importance of supporting it is in
the "if it works, it works - if not, doesn't matter" class.
I'm sure someone has a workaround for the @media not working on IE8 issue.
As long as that does not impact anything at all then we can apply that workaround I guess.
When you go to php.net for the first time without cache... Is that the same error as when you click
a link, or hit refresh?
This could be a issue with your localStorage, as we ship a lot lot lot of data to your browser for
local storage the first time you come to php.net.
Then subsequent pages and refreshes try to short-circuit that request and use your browsers
localStorage... that seems like a likely candidate for problems in very old browsers.

I can confirm Tyger's latest report. I have cleared the browser cache,
disabled caching altogether and get the updated typeahead.min.js, starting
with
(function(c){var l="0.9.3";
The IE 8 debugger stops execution sometimes in typeahead.min.js and
sometimes in jquery.min.js (different positions).
Regarding the layout: it seems to me the issues in IE 8 are caused by
important style rules (float and width of .layout-menu) that are only
available for @media, which is not recognized by IE 8. Adding these
rules to .layout-menu directly (via the developer tools) is putting
the menu to the left; however, it doesn't look as in "modern" browsers.
I can't do screenshots now, but I'll make good for it as soon as
possible (if still necessary).

Can you screenshot the formatting?
That seems like unrelated issue, but just to confirm it would be nice to see.
As for the javascript fix, it takes time to roll the fix to all mirrors and clear various caches and
headers.
Although we do attempt to purge your local cache by attaching the last modification time of the
files, we cache the .php pages also for a long long time - which means your browser may not have
realized externally referenced resources had changed.

I cleared the cache, closed the browser, reopened the browser and went to the PHP.net functions.
Still a delay, after which the error dialog box again appears. The formatting is still off, too, as
the left menu is at the top.

You likely will need to clear your browser cache for changes to take effect.

Uh, I'm still getting the error.
