Package Exports
- bootstrap-ie11
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (bootstrap-ie11) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
Bootstrap 5 for IE 11
Bootstrap 5 drops support for Internet Explorer 11, but you can add support back by simply adding a CSS file and a few JavaScript polyfills.
Quick start
- Download the latest release

git clone https://github.com/coliff/bootstrap-ie11.git - Install with npm

Usage
Just add this in the <head> which will load the CSS and JS - just for IE users.
<script nomodule>window.MSInputMethodContext && document.documentMode && document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/bootstrap-ie11.min.css"><script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/combine/npm/bootstrap@5.0.0-beta2/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js,npm/ie11-custom-properties@4,npm/element-qsa-scope@1"><\/script><script crossorigin="anonymous" src="https://polyfill.io/v3/polyfill.min.js?features=default%2CNumber.parseInt%2CNumber.parseFloat%2CArray.prototype.find%2CArray.prototype.includes"><\/script>');</script>If you'd prefer to load the bootstrap-ie11 CSS without JavaScript you could use an IE-only media query as follow:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/bootstrap-ie11.min.css" media="all and (-ms-high-contrast: active), (-ms-high-contrast: none)">The CSS can be loaded via a CDN:

Known Issues
- Internet Explorer 11 does not support vertical alignment of flex items when the flex container has a
min-height. See Flexbugs #3 for more details. - The ie11CustomProperties polyfill currently removes the
!importantfrom any CSS variables with that set. See ie11CustomProperties issue #62. - SVG images with
.img-fluidare sometimes disproportionately sized. To fix this, addwidth: 100%;or.w-100where necessary. This fix improperly sizes other image formats, so this isn't applied automatically. - There is a slight delay before the ie11CustomProperties polyfill works its magic. Consider adding
body{font-family:"Segoe UI", Arial, sans-serif;}to your IE11-only stylesheet so there isn't a delay in the text displaying. - View a list of known issues at https://github.com/coliff/bootstrap-ie11/issues.
