Autoprefixer is now up to version 9.3.1 and there have been a lot of updates since I wrote the original three-part CSS Grid in IE series — the most important update of which is the new grid-areas system. This is mostly thanks to Bogdan Dolin, who has been working like crazy to fix loads of Autoprefixer issues. Autoprefixer’s grid translations were powerful before, but they have gotten far more powerful now!

This is the third and final part in a three-part series about using CSS grid safely in Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) without going insane.

In Part 1, I covered some of the common misconceptions that people have about IE11’s native CSS grid implementation. In Part 2, I showed the world how easy it actually is to write IE-friendly CSS grid code.

Today, I’m going step away from CSS grid for a moment to show you a flexbox technique that replicates basic CSS grid auto-placement functionality. This CSS grid replica will even look like a grid-gap has been applied to it. I need to be super clear though: this is not about how to make actual CSS grid auto-placement work in IE.

In Part 1 of this series, I debunked a few misconceptions that many people have around the Internet Explorer (IE) implementation of CSS grid. This article builds on that knowledge. It would be best to go back and read that article first if you haven’t already.

Today I’m going to be tackling the biggest misconception of all: that utilizing the IE implementation of CSS grid is extremely difficult. You can easily use CSS grid in IE right now without having to give it any sort of crappy fallback layout. It really isn't that hard.

This is the first in a three-part series all about how to use CSS grid in a way that will work not only in modern browsers but also in Internet Explorer (IE). Imagine writing CSS grid code without having to write a fallback layout! Many of us think that this is some far off future that is many years away. If the only thing holding you back from that reality is IE11 (check caniuse.com), then you’re in luck! That day is today! Or at least it will be when you finish reading this series. 😉
