However, there is a solution in Microsoft Edge that can help resolve these issues. By using Internet Explorer compatibility mode, you can ensure that these legacy websites will display and function properly in Microsoft Edge.

Here are the steps to set Microsoft Edge to Internet Explorer compatibility mode:

  1. Open Microsoft Edge and click on the three dots (…) in the upper-right corner to access the settings menu.

  2. Select the Settings option from the drop-down menu.
