Question: Is there any CSS element that does the same as display: -webkit-box;
? It seems that IE 11 isn't supporting this element. Please help me out!

2In general WebKit isn't supported by IE, you should use flexbox instead. – arielb Mar 01 '19 at 13:43

To say it more accurately, IE doesn't use the Webkit rendering engine to which that prefix applies. That's also extremely old syntax. – isherwood Mar 01 '19 at 14:09

1@isherwood: I suspect the reason they're asking this at all is because virtually every other non-WebKit browser does support -webkit-box and a variety of other -webkit- bits, allowing code that relied on the legacy syntax to continue working seamlessly. – BoltClock Mar 01 '19 at 14:22

It used to be: display:box
for the first iterations of Flexbox (~2009).
Nowadays display: flex
is used. I'd recommend using that.
Original answer: Flexible box model - display : flex, box, flexbox?
In case you need more references on Flexbox I found this very helpful: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/
