Message
This web application contains deprecated DirectX-based filter [ELEMENT] (File: [FILE_NAME]).
Background
Internet Explorer 4.0 introduced support for DirectX-based visual filters and transitions called DX filters, which enabled web developers to apply multimedia-style effects to their web pages. Internet Explorer 11 and later support a standards-based alternative to common DX filters.
Note:The legacy support is available in Internet Explorer 11 in document modes 5, 7, and 8; however, their performance is inferior to their standards-based replacements.
Resolution
The web application should be re-engineered by moving to standards-based technologies. Where this is not feasible, the Internet Explorer Compatibility View should be used. It can be triggered by using the meta attribute value X-UA-Compatible.
