IE Print Protector IE Print Protector is a piece of javascript that allows you to print HTML5 pages in Internet Explorer. IE Print Protector helps IE render HTML5 elements correctly, both on screen and in print. Printing HTML5 in Internet Explorer Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8 do not recognize new HTML5 elements. IE treats unknown element start

and end

tags as void elements. This means unknown elements no longer wrap their contents, making them impossible to style and spilling their contents into the DOM. In this example we have an article element wrapping a heading and paragraph with some text.

Lorem ipsum

Dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.

Since Internet Explorer voids the article element, the heading and paragraph are pushed out.
