CSS: display: grid and/or -ms-grid

Question

Is there a way to use both or either display: grid/-ms-grid into one style sheet or do I have to use an HTML hack or JavaScript to query what type of browser a

Answer 1

This is what I used for IE:

I added an @supports() for all current browser support. If you use @supports() pass in a new grid property such as @supports(grid-area: auto) to be sure a modern browser will pick it up. Do not use @suppports(display: grid) because IE will recognize display:grid and will then use the modern grid properties that it does not have. I had to use a 1px margin to mimic the grid-gap in IE though

.item-bg {
    background-color: rgb(92, 182, 205);
    border-radius: 6px;
    margin: 1px;
}

.container {
    display: -ms-grid;
    
   width: 800px;
    height: 600px;
    -ms-grid-columns: 200px 1fr 1fr;
    -ms-grid-rows: 80px 1fr 1fr 100px;

    .header {

        grid-column: 2/3;
    
    }
    .content-3 {
        grid-row: 3/4;
        grid-column: 3/4;
    }
    .footer {
        grid-row: 4/5;
        grid-column: 1/4;
    }
