Is Angular 11 Compatible with Internet Explorer 5?

Is there a way to make Angular 11 compatible with Internet Explorer 5? I am developing an angular solution for a client whose default browser is Internet Explorer running on version 5 (by default). Initially, I am not supposed to change any browser configuration (such as changing the document mode to version 11 and setting it as default).

I am using Angular 11.0.5 and Angular CLI 11.0.5:

Angular CLI: 11.0.5
Node: 14.16.1
OS: win32 x64

Angular: 11.0.5
... animations, cli, common, compiler, compiler-cli, core, forms
... platform-browser, platform-browser-dynamic, router
Ivy Workspace: Yes

Package                            Version
------------------------------------------------------------
@angular-devkit/architect          0.1100.5
@angular-devkit/build-angular      0.1100.5
@angular-devkit/core               11.0.5
@angular-devkit/schematics         11.0.5
@angular/cdk                       11.0.3
@angular/material                  11.0.3
@angular/material-moment-adapter   12.0.4
@schematics/angular                11.0.5
@schematics/update                 0.1100.5
rxjs                               6.6.3
typescript                         4.0.5

Here is my index.html file:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="pt-br">

<head>
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge; IE=11; IE=10; IE=9; IE=8; IE=7; IE=5" />
  <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type">
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>Cronograma</title>
  <base href="/">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

  <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons" rel="stylesheet">
</head>

<body class="mat-typography">
  <app-root></app-root>
</body>



</html>

I also tried to change <!doctype html> and

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=5" />
, but nothing happened.

Here is my src/polyfills.ts file:

Answer №1

Absolutely not. Angular 2+ has never provided support for IE5 (and it is highly unlikely that even Angular.js did in the past). You can refer to the list of supported browsers here - with the oldest version of IE being supported being 11.

It is puzzling why your client is still using such an outdated and vulnerable browser, but a single page application is definitely not a practical solution under these circumstances.
