How to Opt-Out of IE8 Standards Mode and Other Useful Internet Explorer Troubleshooting Information
As a web designer/developer, we should strive to make each visitors experience as pleasant as possible. So, whether you like it or not, if you've chosen the web designer/developer career, you have to work with Windows® Internet Explorer® (IE).
I use Microsoft's Virtual PC to test web site display and functionality on various versions of IE (6, 7 and 8 at the moment). Unfortunately, I was experiencing a display issue only in IE8. Now, I realize the number of people currently using IE8 is extremely small. Soon enough though, there will be tens of thousands of people using it right? I might as well try to correct it now rather than pull my hair out later.
Rather than go into the display issue itself, I found a very useful technique to opt-out of IE8 standards mode. Or, in regular terms, how to make IE8 display a web page as if it were IE7.
First, I should explain why I chose this route. For one thing, it quickly fixed the display issue. Is there a better reason?
All I had to do was include a simple meta tag to the page(s) where the problem was occurring.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />
Personally, I like to wrap IE specific tags with a bit of ColdFusion:
<cfif cgi.HTTP_USER_AGENT contains "msie">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />
</cfif>
The downside to using this technique is that you will not be able to use the latest rendering features available in IE8. Sniff, sniff (cue smallest violin in the world) … oh well.
According to information I found on the IE8 Readiness Toolkit, you can also address this on a per-site bases by adding a HTTP header:
X-UA-Compatible:IE=EmulateIE7
Alternatively, you could use a slightly different meta tag on a per-page basis while still accessing "all Internet Explorer 8 has to offer."
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
Word of caution here, using the "EmulateIE7" technique did not fix my display issue though. I ended up using the first technique with "IE=7" to "correct" the problem.
Here are some other helpful links relating to working with Internet Explorer, IE8 (Beta 1), etc.:
- Microsoft Virtual PC 2007
- Software virtualization tool that allows for running a variety of operating systems (OS) on one machine/PC.
- Internet Explorer 8 (Beta) Readiness Toolkit
- Windows Internet Explorer 8 Beta Download
- If possible, I would actually recommend using Virtual PC instead
- Internet Explorer Application Compatibility Virtual PC (VPC) Image
- This is a link for the Virtual PC Hard Disk Images for testing web sites on IE (including IE6 XP SP2, IE7 Vista, IE8 XP SP2)
- Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar
- A pretty decent tool for discovering web page display issues
- Windows Internet Explorer Developer Center
- Web Developer Resources pertaining to Internet Explorer (and other web design/development activities)
