[RESOLVED] force browser mode

**DirtyHowi** · May 25th, 2012, 03:20 PM

i have an ASP.NET application (not website) that i have added the

Code:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge" >

to the head of the master page, when i launce the app from the server it wants to put it in ie9 compatability mode, rather than ie9 mode (which works).

it has some funky behaviors if the mode on the browser is not set to ie9.

doctype is

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

anyone have any success with setting compatability mode??

On some of our sites we have the following compatability meta tag (in the site master page)

HTML Code:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8"/>

and the doctype

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

On my machine I am running IE9. I have not experienced any issues with this setup.

ended up taking

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

and reducing it to

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>

and using 9 instead of 8
