How can I fix the issue of input fields stretching vertically and select boxes stretching horizontally in IE compatibility mode on a Webflow site? The code I tried, including the tags, doesn't seem to work.

Input fields stretching vertically and select boxes stretching horizontally in IE compatibility mode is often caused by outdated rendering rules in Internet Explorer. Here’s how to fix it:

1. Force Edge Rendering Mode

• Add a meta tag in your Webflow project to enforce the modern IE engine:
• Go to Project Settings > Custom Code > Head Code and insert:
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
• This tells IE to use the latest rendering mode instead of an older one.

2. Set Explicit Width & Height

• Manually define the dimensions of input and select elements:
• Add this CSS in Project Settings > Custom Code > Footer Code:
  ```css
  input, select {
  height: auto;
  width: auto;
  min-width: 150px;
  max-width: 100%;
  }
  ```
• This prevents stretching by ensuring the elements respect a reasonable width.

3. Use Flexbox Instead of Autofitting

• If your form uses automatic width (width: auto;), override it with max-width: 100%.
• Ensure Flexbox settings don’t force elements to fill available space.

4. Reset Default IE Styles

• Some older versions of IE apply unwanted default styling. Reset it with:
  ```css
  input, select {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  appearance: none;
  }
  ```
• This stops native UI styling differences in forms.

5. Test in IE11 & Edge

• Open your site in Internet Explorer 11 and check behavior.
• If possible, disable Compatibility Mode in browser settings or instruct users to use a modern browser.

Summary

To fix input fields stretching in IE compatibility mode, force modern rendering, set explicit sizes, disable auto-fit styling, and test in IE11. This helps maintain proper form alignment across browsers.
