We've found experimentally that the meta tag has no effect on IE8 when in
intranet mode. We've further found that it does seem to respect the http
header, which could be set in a filter like this:
public class LatestIEFilter implements Filter {
@Override
public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse resp,
FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
((HttpServletResponse)resp).setHeader("X-UA-Compatible", "IE=latest");
chain.doFilter(req, resp);
}
//...
}
<rant>
Since IE8-pretending-to-be-IE7 behaves like neither IE8 nor IE7 (at least
not completely), I generally maintain that code trying to fit either one
shouldn't be expected to work. IIRC, IE8-pretending-to-be-IE7 can't be
distinguished from IE7, so the only way to make a library/application work
in a so-called compatibility mode is to custom tailor it for that mode, and
ignore the 'real' browser modes.
