max-width:-webkit-fit-content ie 8 equivalent?

Question

Are there any hacks for max-width:-webkit-fit-content; for ie 8?

Trying to get a child div to not take up the whole width of the parent and this works well

Answer 1

From demosthenes.info, I learned I can simply use

display: table;

instead of

width: fit-content;

Check the link however about problems with whitespaces. It does not apply to my case, and simply replacing width: fit-content with display: table solved my problem quite easily.
