The biggest source for issues in IE9 is when users inadvertantly click the
compatibility view icon. To prevent that, we usually recomend using this meta
tag in your page:
xhtml version:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge"/>
html version:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge">
Does that trick also work for older versions of ie? We had a client complain about his site and
couldn't replicate his "issues" until we tried the "compatibility" view. He was
using an earlier version of ie (not sure what it was thou and he didn't know).
It works for IE8, too. What happened with your client is that he
probably was using IE7. You are using IE8 and could not duplicate the
problem until you went into Compatibility View, which essentially means
that your IE8 was behaving like it were IE7. Your solution is to fix
IE7. There is no magic meta tag for that ;-)
