Since Microsoft is no longer making changes to Internet Explorer (except for security updates), this will continue to work for the foreseeable future.

    @BhaskaraArani. There will be no further development on Internet Explorer , except for security patches. So it's safe to tell your client functionality won't change anymore. If for some strange reason Microsoft would decide that they need to make changes to the browser anyway, then you can't really be held accountable by your client for software not working anymore. They should update their software anyway so you don't need 'hacks' like document mode. – Luuuud Sep 12 '16 at 14:27
