</div>

If using the node module, in your source files, import the browser-dead module and then initialize as below:

import browserDead from 'browser-dead'
 
browserDead({
  background: #f00,
  color: #fff,

  browserDead: 'browser-dead'
})

If directly using in html, place the initialization code right below the script tag:

<script src="/path/to/browser-dead.min.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  browserDead({
    background: #f00,
    color: #fff,
    supportBreakpoint: 'promise',
    browserDead: 'browser-dead'
  })
</script> 

Examples

• Promise (<=IE11)
• transform(<=IE8)

Support Breakpoint

Refer to caniuse.com to know what support breakpoint can you use for your scenario. Below are some of the common ones that you can use as breakpoints to not support your choices of browsers:

• promise (<= IE11) - Promise check is a special implementation in browser-dead which is useful for detecting IE11 properly if you do not wish to support IE11 and below.
• transform (<= IE8) - CSS transform
• borderImage (<= IE10) - CSS Border Image
• borderSpacing (<= IE7) - CSS Border Spacing
