I need to host an online payment gateway in a Browser
control in Framework 4.5
and have come across the problem where the CSS
is not appli
Usually, implementing FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION
resolves issues like this, but you mentioned you already did that. I could share a test app if you like to try it with your own HTML+CSS.

First, try it as is, you should see something like this:
Note documentMode
and compatMode
values, these correspond to HTML5 standard mode. Then try it with your HTML, see if they stay the same.
