The following did not work for me in IE:

- Drop shadow - Custom cursors - Smooth scrolling - Truncate text to a number of lines - Custom scrollbars - Sticky position - Scroll snap - Fancy text - The CodePen CSS button



IE usage is under 1% now. It's really only used by people for accessing specific legacy apps and internal websites. Microsoft is ending support for it.

There is no longer any reason developers building general-audience websites, web apps, or libraries should care about IE support. It's not part of the general conversation anymore.

You only need to cater to IE if you're a developer on one of those legacy sites, or maintain a library that has been around for so long it's still actively used by those legacy sites.


I understand that and I happen to be one of those developers that has a customer that requires IE to be supported. So I was interested in the behavior of the site under IE. My experience testing the site in IE was different than that of another poster, so I thought I would document it. I apologize for causing you whatever consternation prompted you to react in this way, it certainly wasn't my intent and wasn't anticipated.

And healthcare. And government. And a lot of other non-Silicon Valley and non-hobby industries.


Those are the types of legacy apps and internal websites I was referring to.

What did you think I was talking about instead?
