hi guys

just wondering how older browsers would render content that has had flexbox associated with it? does it just ignore it and use the css associated with the parent container?

cheers

Jamie

Who really cares for IE 9? but if you really need to provide is modernizr's Flexbox with fallback of .no-flexbox class.

Go to modernizr.com in development build, download flexbox support only which it has .no-flexbox and provide in your project.

That's best option I know.

@Jamie - I was wondering that too and found this link
developer.mozilla.org/enUS/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Flexible_Box_Layout/Using_CSS_flexible_boxes#Browser_compatibility

I downloaded the beta and didn't see the flex box in the design tools. I know as soon as i learn all these things I'll be flying

thanks for the solution Mansour..will check it out.

as to supporting IE 9 - ie8 & 9 still equate to a significant proportion of users between them (source https://goo.gl/mmEhC9) so to my mind ignoring them or brushing them under the carpet at this point is still a little shortsighted. lets just hope that these users upgrade far quicker than those who used to use ie6 and caused us untold headaches and problems in the past!!



thanks Izzi, will check that out as well

You can see the browser info here for Flexbox (and any other HTML/CSS features you want to use):
http://caniuse.com/#feat=flexbox
You can see global usage stats, or specify your country. Hover over a browser version to see the usage for just that one.

In the USA, a lot of old IE usage is due to either Windows XP users, or companies not upgrading systems ($$$). But their employees trying to browse the internet on company time should be used to blocked sites and messed up sites by now.
I would expect their personal devices (phones, pads, Chromebooks, etc.) are more up to date. The remaining die-hard XP users should be used to glitchy websites by now.

Keep in mind – Even Microsoft no longer supports IE8 & 9, and have moved on to their new Edge browser (so long IE).
