compatibility-mode

So I am having problems getting IE8 to not default to IE7 document mode, as our intranet is set up. I am using IE dev tools to set plus a little bit of js to check what the browser is reporting the document mode to be. I won't be able to change any settings other than what markup I can give. In otherwords I'm not an admin, the only control I have is within the browser. I have tried: <meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="IE=8"> But this does not change how the document mode is reported, it still reported as IE7.

I have a internal website hosted on IIS. I added the following meta code and also add http-header that the page should in IE8 Browser mode and document mode. <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" > We tested it on Visual Studio and and it works very well. However, after we publish the code to another IIS server, one developer reported that the page render in "IE8 Comatiblity" Browser Mode which causes some JavaScript to fail. There are more then 4 people working on the same windows server 2003 (RDP sessions). We use the same version of IE (same IE actually). Everyone get "IE8"

This might be an exact duplicate of Is it possible to execute 32-bit code in 64-bit process by doing mode-switching? , but that question is from a year ago and only has one answer that doesn't give any source code. I'm hoping for more detailed answers. I'm running 64-bit Linux (Ubuntu 12.04, if it matters). Here's some code that allocates a page, writes some 64-bit code into it, and executes that code. #include <assert.h> #include <malloc.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/mman.h> // mprotect #include <unistd.h> // sysconf unsigned char test_function[] = { 0xC3 }; // RET int main() { int

IE9 has a weird problem where it renders intranet sites in compatibility mode. Does anyone know a way how to prevent this from happening? Note: I am not looking for a way to prevent it on a single users machine, but some programmatic way to prevent the site from ever rendering in compatibility mode. After an exhaustive search, I found out how to successfully prevent an intranet site from rendering in compatibility mode in IE9 on this blog : From Tesmond's blog There are 2 quirks in IE9 that can cause compatibility mode to remain in effect. The X-UA-Compatible meta element must be the first

I have just installed IE9 beta and on a specific site I created (HTML5) IE9 jumps to compatibility mode unless I manually tell it not to. I have tried removing several parts of the website but no change. Including removing all CSS includes. On some other website of me it goes just fine. Also, don't set it manually because then IE9 remembers the user setting and you can't turn it back to automatic (or at least I haven't found how, not even via private browsing and emptying cache) Anyway.
