ie-compatibility-mode

Please see update (11/27) below I have a modal window that is launched with it's content in an iframe (ASP webforms application). We need to have the modal redirect to another page, but it cannot be within the iframe due to security reasons (Paypal processing page). In Chrome and IE standards mode, we have code that properly changes the modal's URL to the right one. However in compatibility mode, the redirect causes a new modal window to open with the correct URL. How can we stop it from opening a new window and actually redirecting? This is our current code: dialog.redirect = function

I've tried adding registry entries at: Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER Key Path: Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\BrowserEmulation\PolicyList\ Value name: sub.companyname.com Value data: sub.companyname.com However in Internet Explorer 11 this method does not work as it seems the list has moved. My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\BrowserEmulation\PolicyList", "sub.companyname.com", "sub.companyname.com") Dave It appears that under Windows 8.1 Enterprise/IE11 the entry is a binary one - this is where I see the entries added under Tools

does anyone know how to check if IE 11 compatibility mode is ON when I'm on a website through javascript? I added the url to the list compatibility view settings. But when I do navigator.userAgent in developer tools, it returns Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; Trident/7.0; .NET4.0E; .NET4.0C; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; InfoPath.3; rv:11.0) like Gecko Looking at the microsoft website ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/hh869301(v=vs.85).aspx ), it says The compatible ("compatible") and browser ("MSIE") tokens have been removed. Any help on detecting

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 am wondering how do you stop people who are using IE 8 from going to Compatibility mode? <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" /> I found this tag and I think this forces people to stay in IE-8 mode but I am not too sure and can't check as I have IE 9. If people are in IE 9 mode I force them to not go into IE 8 or IE 7 Compatibility mode? I tried to put the above line in my code and went to IE 9 -> Tools -> Compatibility View(Grayed Out) but "Compatibility View Settings" was not grayed out and it seems you could add the site through there. So should that not disable? Sriranga
