Background
Internet Explorer 5 introduced support for dynamic CSS properties—also called CSS expressions—which could be used to declare property values as formulas instead of just as constants. Dynamic properties have sometimes been used to work around unsupported properties in older versions of Internet Explorer. However, dynamic properties negatively affect standard compliance, performance, reliability, and security; thus, in Internet Explorer 11 and later, dynamic properties are deprecated.
Note:Dynamic properties are still supported for web applications that are displayed in Internet Explorer 5 (Quirks) mode or Internet Explorer 11 Standards mode.
Resolution
JavaScript event listeners should be used as a replacement for the dynamic properties functionality.
