Lastly you will find links to the publicly accessible documentation for all versions of Ie at the top and bottom of this forum. we are not interested in using our time to take up the slack from a multi-page thread in another don't insult us by asking that we refer to a question that you have previously asked in another (non-Ms) forum. where possible include a link to your website so we can inspect the markup and your servers response headers.
#Internet explorer 9 compatibility mode full
reask your question in full if the other forum's answers do not satisfy your question.

Please don't link to questions in other forums. in IE9 you can use the Networking tab on the IE9 developer tool.

To inspect your server's response headers (to see if has the x-ua header) in IE8 download and install fiddler ( ). Refreshes caused by "Automatically recover from rendering errors with Compatibility view" or documentMode switching will be displayed in the script console of the Developer tool. any scripting error messages will be displayed. then type the Address of your intranet site to navigate your current page to the site. To debug and troubleshoot your migrated intranet websites. Hence if your legacy intanet apps are using client UAS sniffing and conditional comments, this may be tripping the "Automatically recover from rendering errors with compatibility view" setting.


(as reconstructed from registry settings) to the request headers.Īnd also uses that UAS to force the Version vector of the browser to that of the UAS it is using. I am not sure but I think that setting also looks for UAS sniffing scripts and applies the browser's UAS string There is also an IE setting on the Advanced tab of Internet Options - "Automatically recover from rendering errors with Compatibility view". The IE=edge instructs MSIE browsers to over-ride the "Display Intranet Sites in Compatibility view" and to use the most standards compliant rendering method that the browser is capable of. the x-ua meta tag should be the second meta tag in your head block after the charset Style expression rules with event handlers that manipulate the element class or style position rules.Īdd the x-ua IE=edge meta tag to the head section of each page or to the head section of your asp.net master page or to your servers response headers (done through IIS). you have to replace your expression style rules with either absolute or static positioning. Quirks mode does not recognise Static positioning and uses style expressions instead. Replace any legacy Quirks markup and event handlers. Replace any UAS sniffing client scripts with feature testing instead. (avoid strict DTD's as these instruct browsers to ignore any depreciated attributes (height width etc for web documents developed using IE7 which uses HasLayout to determine whether to use h/w attributes or style rules) When migrating legacy intranet websites to standards mode rendering (where "Display intranet sites in Compatibility View" is enforced on a corporate network)Īdd a valid document type to your page. So the solution is to search your registry settings for the custom IE6 UAS settings ( includes instructions). Unfortunately there is a known bug in GPedit (for IE8 adm files) that when the Custom UAS option is unchecked the old value in the registry is NOT removed. Typically on legacy corporate networks someone in the past has used GPO or IEAK to customize the browsers' UAS to the IE6 UAS or at one stage the Avast or Maxthon web browsers have been installed (older versions of those browsers customized the IE UAS in Go to to test your browsers UAS for those conditions. On XP machines there are known issues with overlylong UAS strings or nested IE6 tokens in the UAS. In the IE address bar.(equally also execute the script in the Developer Tools script console.) To find out the UAS sent to the server type IE8 documentMode refers to the most 'Standards' compliant mode that IE8 is capable of. IE8 compatibility mode indicates that the site is using browser sniffing client scripts. IE8 on XP and and vista/win7 are slightly different.
#Internet explorer 9 compatibility mode windows
Nobody has mentioned which windows version. but because that stackoverflow question (why are you reposting here? these are public forums also we do not work for or represent MS) is refering to an intranet site I would assume that a public url is unavaliable.
