5,185 PointsMy SVG is not rendering right in Internet Explorer. Every other browser shows it just right.
Hi, I have a page http://konstantin.fi/ made mostly with SVG code. It works just fine in all browsers BUT Internet Explorer (Surprise surprise >_<).
Would you happen to have any idea why IE is rendering the Choose your Konstantin SVG elements badly? The element is supposed to fit into your screen like in this screenshot: https://ibb.co/ia3RSw but insted the IE render it very small, like this (which is wrong): https://ibb.co/fxVC0G

10,925 PointsIt really depends what version of IE you are seeing the issue on. SVG is supported from versions 9+, with the caveat that versions 9-11 scale SVG's incorrectly.
Here's a useful site that let's you know what is and isn't supported by different browsers.
The site suggests that...
adding height, width, viewBox and CSS rules seem to be the best workaround.
So you could reformat your code to incorporate this advice.
Ultimately a relatively small amount of people use these versions of IE, and as Vladimir posted, support for them has ended.
If, however you would still like to fix this issue, you could resort to an old IE hack that targets IE10+ with a media query.
@media all and (-ms-high-contrast: none), (-ms-high-contrast: active) {
/* your code goes here */
}
