I've created an unformatted text part that includes CSS animation. My test page is www.archkck.org/barebones. It works fine on every browser except IE11. I noticed that your web server is telling IE11 to emulate IE9 by default, a version where CSS animations don't work. I can change it to "Edge" mode (IE11) manually, but when the page refreshes, it goes back to IE9 mode. Any help here?

    Hi Jim,



    You can try adding the following code to the <head> section by using an Unformatted Text part on the page or template:



    <!doctype html> <br /><br/><meta http-equiv="X-UA-COMPATIBLE" content="IE=Edge">



    This forces 'Edge' mode. Microsoft explains 'Edge' mode:



    "Edge mode tells Internet Explorer to display content in the highest mode available. With Internet Explorer 9, this is equivalent to IE9 mode. If a future release of Internet Explorer supported a higher compatibility mode, pages set to edge mode would appear in the highest mode supported by that version. Those same pages would still appear in IE9 mode when viewed with Internet Explorer 9."



    If you try this, make sure you mark the checkbox for 'Show advanced options' on the Design tab of the Unformatted Text part, and choose 'In the head tag' from the 'Placement in HTML' dropdown.
