Unfortunately, not all web sites confirm to IE8 standards today. If you have concerns about your web site rendering correctly in IE8 standards mode, then there is some help for you out there:
You can address the issues on a page-by-page basis using the following HTTP meta-tag:
This tag, when seen by IE8 will render the page in IE7 compatibility mode regardless of whether or not you’ve set IE to run in IE8 Standards mode or not. This is a great solution for that one page in the site that doesn’t quite render correctly in Standards mode.
Note: Including this in the Asp.net Master Page(s) will cater for IE7 compatibility in all the Content Pages that use the Master Page.

Great tip! Saves users the hassle of hitting "Compatibility View" button.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this great tip! I'm tired of telling people where the compatibility view button is :-)
