How can I ensure my CSS grid layout works in older browsers that don't fully support the grid spec?

Answer

To ensure your CSS grid layout works in older browsers, you can use feature queries to provide fallbacks or use older layout techniques like Flexbox. Here's a practical way to handle this situation.

<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
    .container {
      display: flex; /* Fallback for older browsers */
    }

    @supports (display: grid) {
      .container {
        display: grid;
        grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
        grid-gap: 10px;
      }
    }
    <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->

Additional Comment:

Feature queries with "@supports" allow you to apply CSS rules only if the browser supports a specific feature, like CSS Grid.
Define a fallback layout using Flexbox or another method before the "@supports" rule.
Test your layout in various browsers to ensure compatibility and adjust as needed.
Consider using tools like Autoprefixer to automatically add vendor prefixes for better compatibility.
