Hi, we had a similar problem (without the facet). The only way we found was to 'hack' the class 'org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.util.DefaultAddResource' such that if it founds the compatibility-mode-tag it moves to the first position... but maybe (sure ;-)) there is a better solution.

März 2012 10:34 An: MyFaces Discussion Betreff: Content in facet metaContainer is not the first in <head> Hello List, I am trying to force a document mode in Internet Explorer. Following the documentation on msdn [1] I have to add the X-UA-compatible header in the Web page's header (the HEAD section) before all other elements, except for the TITLE element and other META elements. I used a <tr:document> with the facet metaContainer but the resulting page also contains other elements before the content of the facet. Example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <tr:document xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page"; xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"; xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"; xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"; xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"; xmlns:tr="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad"; xmlns:t="http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk"; xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; title="#{pageTitle}" styleClass="start" > <f:facet name="metaContainer"> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="de" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> <link rel="stylesheet" charset="UTF-8" type="text/css" media="print" href="style.css" /> </f:facet> <!-- content --> </tr:document> Resulting Source: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";><html dir="ltr" lang="de"><head> <title>Title of Page</title> <meta name="generator" content="Apache MyFaces Trinidad"> <link rel="stylesheet" charset="UTF-8" type="text/css" href="/InDocFlowN/adf/styles/cache/ar-desktop-ppd893-ltr-ie.css"> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="de"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> <link rel="stylesheet" charset="UTF-8" type="text/css" media="print" href="style.css" /> </head> <!-- content -> </html> The problem are these two lines: <meta name="generator" content="Apache MyFaces Trinidad"> <link rel="stylesheet" charset="UTF-8" type="text/css" href="/InDocFlowN/adf/styles/cache/ar-desktop-ppd893-ltr-ie.css"> They should not be rendered before the <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8"> Otherwise IE will not honor the tag. How can I remove / move these two lines or otherwise how can i insert the compatibility line as the first child of the head.
