I'm making a date picker component that includes a calendar which I'm styling using CSS grid. It works great in all browsers except IE11 which shows all the elements in the same position in the top left corner. Am I missing an IE11 specific css property that will prevent this or is it not feasible for this to work in IE11?

How it looks in Chrome:

How it looks in IE11

Here's the code snippet:

.date-picker .dates .days {
    display: -ms-grid;
    display: grid;
    -ms-grid-columns: (1fr)[7];
    grid-template-columns: repeat(7, 1fr);
    justify-items: center;
}

.date-picker .dates .days-of-week {
    display: -ms-grid;
    display: grid;
    -ms-grid-columns: (1fr)[7];
    grid-template-columns: repeat(7, 1fr);
    justify-items: center;
}

.date-picker .dates .days .day {    
    margin-top: .5em;
    margin-bottom: .5em;
    height: 36px;
    width: 36px;
    
}

.date-picker .dates .days-of-week .day {    
    height: 36px;
    width: 36px;
}

  • IE11 didn't implement grid the same way - see [link]caniuse.com/?search=grid That may be what is causing your problem.

After doing some more research it seems that I have to specify each cell's position in the grid in order for it to display correctly in IE11

So the css would look like this:

.date-picker .dates .days {
    display: -ms-grid;
    display: grid;
    -ms-grid-columns: (1fr)[7];
    grid-template-columns: repeat(7, 1fr);
    justify-items: center;
}

.date-picker .dates .days-of-week {
    display: -ms-grid;
    display: grid;
    -ms-grid-columns: (1fr)[7];
    grid-template-columns: repeat(7, 1fr);
    justify-items: center;
}

.date-picker .dates .days .day {    
    margin-top: .5em;
    margin-bottom: .5em;
    height: 36px;
    width: 36px;
    
}

.date-picker .dates .days-of-week .day {    
    height: 36px;
    width: 36px;
}

/* Because of IE11 we have to specify every cells place in the grid */

/* Days of the week cell placement */
.days-of-week div:nth-child(1){
    -ms-grid-column: 1;
    grid-column: 1;
    -ms-grid-row: 1;
    grid-row: 1;
}

.days-of-week div:nth-child(2){
    -ms-grid-column: 2;
    grid-column: 2;
    -ms-grid-row: 1;
    grid-row: 1;
}


.days-of-week div:nth-child(3){

    grid-column: 3;
    -ms-grid-row: 1;
    grid-row: 1;
}


.days-of-week div:nth-child(4){
    -ms-grid-column: 4;
    grid-column: 4;

}
