It is expected for a Lottie animation to not show up on Internet Explorer in Webflow. Lottie is a library for rendering animations and it uses the SVG format to display vector animations. Internet Explorer has limited support for SVG, especially when it comes to complex animations. As a result, Lottie animations may not render properly or may not appear at all in Internet Explorer.

Here are a few reasons why Lottie animations may not show up on Internet Explorer in Webflow:

Lack of SVG support: Internet Explorer has limited support for SVG, especially for advanced features like animations. This can cause Lottie animations to fail to render or display incorrectly.
Outdated browser versions: If users are viewing the website on an outdated version of Internet Explorer, they may experience issues with Lottie animations. Newer versions of Internet Explorer may have better support for SVG and Lottie animations.
JavaScript capabilities: Lottie animations rely on JavaScript to function properly. Internet Explorer has limited support for modern JavaScript features, which can lead to compatibility issues and prevent Lottie animations from appearing.
Alternative solutions: To ensure a consistent experience across different browsers, it is recommended to use alternative animation techniques, such as CSS animations or GIF images, for browsers that do not support Lottie animations.

In conclusion, due to limited support for SVG and modern JavaScript features in Internet Explorer, it is expected that Lottie animations may not show up or function correctly in Webflow. It is important to test websites across multiple browsers to ensure a smooth and consistent user experience.
