Been there... In IIS: 1. go to /Sites/Default Web Site/CMS/WebClient 2. Open the HTTP ResponseHeaders 3. Delete the header:X-UA-Compatible: IE=EmulateIE7 4. You can now set it to whatever you like within your projects in the page headers (or do it globally but some of your older projects might still need IE7 to display properly in smartedit)
