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

It might depends on the situation:

I had a block-level element with width: fit-content;. As this doesn't work on IE, the element was taking the full available width (as expected).

But I wanted it to just adjust its size to its content.

Finally, i fixed it with:

display: inline-flex;
