flex-box

Hi All,

I have just started the "Flex-Box Layout" module.

I aware this can only be used on the latest browsers.

However, If i create my website with the majority of flex box, how would older versions be able to view my website? What would I need to do in order for all browsers to view this.

Thanks Lee

The first thing to do is to look at the global support for flexbox which you can do by using caniuse.com and searching Flexbox. You can see that Flexbox has excellent support with only partial support for internet explorer which is being slowly phased out.

There's 93% support out there including prefixed support.

You can use browser vendor prefixes even today to include support on earlier browsers but bear in mind -webkit- is currently the only supported browser prefix.

display: -webkit-flexbox;
