CSS flexbox not working in IE10
Flex layout modes are not (fully) natively supported in IE yet. IE10 implements the "tween" version of the spec which is not fully recent, but still works.

This CSS-Tricks article has some advice on cross-browser use of flexbox (including IE): http://css-tricks.com/using-flexbox/
edit: after a bit more research, IE10 flexbox layout mode implemented current to the March 2012 W3C draft spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-css3-flexbox-20120322/
The most current draft is a year or so more recent: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-flexbox/
As Ennui mentioned, IE 10 supports the -ms
prefixed version of Flexbox (IE 11 supports it unprefixed). The errors I can see in your code are:
- You should have
display: -ms-flexbox
instead ofdisplay: -ms-flex
- I think you should specify all 3
flex
values, likeflex: 0 1 auto
to avoid ambiguity
So the final updated code is...
.flexbox form {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: -moz-flex;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: -o-flex;
display: flex;
/* Direction defaults to 'row', so not really necessary to specify */
-webkit-flex-direction: row;
-moz-flex-direction: row;
-ms-flex-direction: row;
-o-flex-direction: row;
flex-direction: row;
}
.flexbox form input[type=submit] {
width: 31px;
}
.flexbox form input[type=text] {
width: auto;
/* Flex should have 3 values which is shorthand for
<flex-grow> <flex-shrink> <flex-basis> */
-webkit-flex: 1 1 auto;
-moz-flex: 1 1 auto;
-ms-flex: 1 1 auto;
-o-flex: 1 1 auto;
flex: 1 1 auto;
/* I don't think you need 'display: flex' on child elements * /
display: -webkit-flex;
display: -moz-flex;
display: -ms-flex;
display: -o-flex;
display: flex;
