use initial width for element not working in IE
Like you said, generally width: auto will have a similar effect. Having the rules: .my-selector { width: auto; width: initial; } Should cause it to use initial if it’s supported and auto otherwise.

Div with horizontal scrolling only
The solution is fairly straight forward. To ensure that we don’t impact the width of the cells in the table, we’ll turn off white-space. To ensure we get a horizontal scroll bar, we’ll turn on overflow-x. And that’s pretty much it: .container { width: 30em; overflow-x: auto; white-space: nowrap; } You can see the end-result … Read more
Why does Internet Explorer not send HTTP post body on Ajax call after failure?
There does not seem to be a clear answer to this question, so I will provide my empirical data as a substitute and provide some ways to work around it. Maybe some MS insider will one day shed some light on this… If HTTP Keep-Alive is disabled on the server, this issue goes away. In … Read more
Why use X-UA-Compatible IE=Edge anymore?
In theory, including <meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=edge”> forces IE to display your HTML using “Standards Mode” (as opposed to “Quirks Mode”), making it more inline with other modern browsers. However, as @David’s answer points out, unless you’re hosting a site in the “Local Intranet” zone, there is very little reason to include it and, according to … Read more
Button Click event fires when pressing Enter key in different input (no forms)
I had the same problem and solved it by adding type=”button” attribute to the <button> element, by which IE thinks the button as a simple button instead of a submit button (which is default behavior of a <button> element).
What is a simple/minimal browserconfig.xml for a web site
I added the meta code to my head, but I’m still getting browserconfig.xml requests too. So I think best way is; according to them: https://learn.microsoft.com/browserconfig.xml <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?> <browserconfig> <msapplication> </msapplication> </browserconfig>
How can I use console logging in Internet Explorer?
You can access IE8 script console by launching the “Developer Tools” (F12). Click the “Script” tab, then click “Console” on the right.

IE10 renders in IE7 mode. How to force Standards mode?
Internet Explorer makes the assumption that most webpages were written to target earlier versions of IE and looks at the doctype, meta tags and HTML to determine the best compatibility mode (sometimes incorrectly). Even with a HTML5 doctype IE will still place your website in compatibility mode if it’s an intranet site. To ensure that … Read more

I found that ie browser have problem to vertically align inner containers, when only the min-height style is set or when height style is missing at all. What I did was to add height style with some value and that fix the issue for me. for example : .outer { display: -ms-flexbox; display: -webkit-flex; display: … Read more
Intercept page exit event
Similar to Ghommey’s answer, but this also supports old versions of IE and Firefox. window.onbeforeunload = function (e) { var message = “Your confirmation message goes here.”, e = e || window.event; // For IE and Firefox if (e) { e.returnValue = message; } // For Safari return message; };
