I have tried a django/react app as well as a base react app made using the create-react-app command. Both end up breaking in one way or another. For instance, the align-items tag does nothing (tried center, right, left). On my django/react app I have a header that loads perfectly on chrome but all I see is a background color on edge.
I'm going to be honest, I went and reloaded the server (have not changed anything since my posting) and it's working completely fine now. I was looking for errors but I dont see any. To clarify, I was having issues with displaying CSS correctly in a react app. Even using the baseline create-react-app and using a align-items property would not function at all in Edge, but would in chrome. Thanks to all who tried to help; hopefully this was a weird one-off.
