I just completed successfully transforming my site to CSS Grid. It works fine in Chrome and Firefox but scrambles things a bit in Edge and IE. In Safari for Windows it is also not right, but I believe that is an old version of Safari. I don't have an Apple to try an up-to-date version. Chrome and Firefox seems to have the lions share of usage statistics, so I am probably OK, but I thought I would see if anyone
has other opinions before I publish the site. Thanks for any suggestions.
you can loook at the can I use it page.
For browser which not support CSS Grid u can try a Modernizr Script. Try to look in the docs here

When I use Chrome and Firefox with this website http://hyojung.vn/network and it's work perfectly, but I move to IE all of my products is showed in 1 column as some small divices. How can I fix this?
Thanks a lot.
You need to provide folks with more info.
What version of IE are we talking about.
From a quick look, you are using flexbox which is not fully supported below IE11.
It's bizarre.
This site works perfectly in all browsers but IE7. In ie7 NOTHING works. Most of the css just doesn't even render. IE8? Fine. Ie9 Perfect. Firefox and Chrome, of course.
Want to hear something weirder? this is a template site i have worked with before. Other sites built on essentially the same template DO work in ie7.
This is why i think whatever it is is simple.
I don't want to paste the code here - it's massive. But i'll give you a link to the site and to the css

Thing is, i have document standard set to ie9 It works fine in ie7 mode with doc standards set to ie9
But i have noticed that most IE browsers don't display default doc standards... this is obviously some sort of issue with IE itself. But it's frustrating.. most end users have no clue how to fix this.
Thanks in advance.

I think I may have found the reason. In your body-style (line 13), you have the following:
font-family: "Times New Roman;
See that unclosed quote? Seems like Chrome, FF, IE9 etc can fix that error, whereas earlier versions of IE read the rest of the CSS as your font-family declaration.
Try Modernizr, it makes a lot of things possible in older/less compatible browsers without a lot of trouble. Try the development version to see if it can help you and compose your own production version targeting your specific needs to minimize the size (and speed) of the javascript library.
Modernizr is a JavaScript library that detects HTML5 and CSS3 features in the user’s browser.
Thanks everyone. I actually found a solution. Look for a js script called ie7.js and include it with conditional comments.. it solves a LOT of ie7 issues
Many of us have been thrilled with polyfills to make IE less of a drag. But my beef is with WebKit. What the hell, WebKit? You're so awesome at everything else; why did you have to go and not implement calc(), eh? ...but it's not a big deal if there's a polyfill.
Is there?
Google is uncharacteristically laconic on this point. So: 0 Hivemind, does such a thing exist?
calc() support has landed in Chrome 19 with the -webkit- prefix! Not sure how long before version 19 gets pushed out to everyone, but it should be within the next few months. Since IE9+ and Firefox already have support, the last holdouts will be Safari and Opera. Fortunately I believe an updated Safari build is likely to be released with OS X Mountain Lion this summer. I'm not sure when Opera plans to add support.
I don't think there is a polyfill for this for Chrome yet ... none that I have found. Best way to get what you need I think is to use javascript. Unfortunately you will have to call that script on browser resize as well.

This is a good start. They have stopped maintaining the project due to most browsers haveing calc available but works well. I have found a couple bugs and fixed them on my sites.
If anyone would like to know my fixes please contact me
So I do quite a lot of CSS development, and I work with Firefox / Firebug A LOT. I generally know how to debug for IE6/IE7 (as far as techniques) and if I have the source, I can easily just edit the actual files and run a local server on a linux machine and test it in IE, going back and forth until it's fixed.
I find myself lately being asked to debug problems in IE6 when I don't have the source. Is there anyway to emulate a firebug like flow in IE6?
Firebug Lite doesn't allow you to change css values, nor does IETester. It doesn't necessarily have to be an inline tool (maybe there is some utility to quickly download 1 off webpages and their dependencies), but I'm definitely looking for the most productive solution to fixing bugs in IE when I don't have the source readily available to me.
Try the IE Dev Toolbar.
It's not as convenient or user-friendly as Firebug, but it can modify CSS and HTML attributes.
Firebug Lite is the best way to debug html in IE.
Firebug is an extension for Firefox,
but what happens when you need to test
your pages in Internet Explorer,
Opera, and Safari?
The solution is Firebug Lite, a
JavaScript file you can insert into
your pages to simulate some Firebug
features in browsers that are not
named "Firefox".
Firebug Lite creates the variable
"firebug" and doesn't affect or
interfere with HTML elements that
aren't created by itself.
Since you already know about it and it doesn't fit what you need, take a look at DebugBar. There is also a MS solution with Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar.
you have tryed Internet Explorer developer toolbar
Why, the IE developer toolbar of course!
It allows manipulation of HTML and CSS values.
3 solutions which i use always
Use IE 8 with developer toolbar in IE 7 emulation mode to solve problems of IE 7 and for IE 8 use in normal mode
for IE 6 it's best till date for me i use this a lot http://www.paciellogroup.com/blog/?p=7
and this to judge right selectors it's very good http://www.westciv.com/mri/ ( i use this for all browser, because it can tell perfect selector for element )
Firebug lite and IE developer toolbar on IE7 not much useful
I can use FireFox and FireBug, in a pane, I can open a .css file, in real time, as I make edits, I can see those edits reflected in FireFox. This is a very handy and valuable feature.
Without starting a debate over browsers, I would love to be able to do the same thing in Safari. My far too small display on this laptop aside, real time development of css helps me move things along at a very nice pace.
While I am near certain any input manager for Safari would not officially be supported, I am OK with that. I have been playing around with the "Web Inspector", but as far as I can tell, this will not fit the bill for my needs.
Are you doing this on a Mac? You can give CSSEdit a try. It's not free, but has a built in webkit preview
Get the latest version of webkit, it has a much more powerful version of Web Inspector which you can use side by side with the latest Safari (two browsers open) to debug Safari.
Which version of Safari are you using? I'd recommend getting Safari 4 Public Beta, which has a brand new Web Inspector that allows you to edit the DOM real-time (I'm not sure whether you can actually edit a CSS file with it, however).

You could try installing FirebugLite.
