Readme
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
- Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/coliff/bootstrap-ie11.git
- Install with npm
npm install bootstrap-ie11
- Install with yarn
yarn add bootstrap-ie11
- Install with Composer
composer require coliff/bootstrap-ie11
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/[email protected]/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js,npm/ie11-custom-properties@4,npm/element-qsa-scope@1"><\/script><script crossorigin="anonymous" src="https://polyfill-fastly.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:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/[email protected]/css/bootstrap-ie11.min.css" media="all and (-ms-high-contrast: active), (-ms-high-contrast: none)">

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
!important
from any CSS variables with that set. See ie11CustomProperties issue #62. - SVG images with
.img-fluid
are sometimes disproportionately sized. To fix this, addwidth: 100%;
or.w-100
where 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 style sheet so there isn't a delay in the text displaying. - View a list of known issues at https://github.com/coliff/bootstrap-ie11/issues.
- From Bootstrap 5.2 onwards, CSS custom properties are used extensively which can cause issues with the ie11CustomProperties polyfill.
