    <p>I've got two very different websites. Both of them have different errors when displayed in the "Internet explorer 8" browser mode!</p> <p>When clicking the "Compatibility view" button next to the address bar both of the sites look great. When I afterwards look at the "Browser mode" and "Document node" by using the built-in "Developer tools", I also notice the "Browser mode" is "IE8 Compat view" and the "Document mode" is "IE7 Standards". Just as I expect them to be.</p> <p>Then I want to force "Internet Explore 8" into the "Browser mode" : " IE8 Compat view", so that my users won't have to click the "Compatibility view" button next to the address bar to get what they really need to see.</p> <p>The only way I can think of doing this is by inserting a metatag below the title inside the header like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"&gt; &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;Test&lt;/title&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" /&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" /&gt; &lt;link ... /&gt; &lt;script ...&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; ... &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>Then i reload the website and the "Compatibility view" button next to the address bar disapears. Just as expected. When I afterwards look at the "Browser mode" and "Document node" by using the built-in "Developer tools", I suddenly see something I really did NOT expect. I expected the "Browser mode" to be "IE8 Compat view" and the "Document node" to be "IE7 Standards", but the "Browser mode" is "IE8" and the "Document mode" is "IE7 Standards" and the websites suddenly have a new set of errors compared to when viewed in "Internet explorer 8" browser mode!</p> <p><strong>It is very frustrating why can't I force the "IE8 Compat view" browser mode instead of the "Internet explore 7" or "Internet explore 8" browser modes?</strong></p>

    1. COI have the same exact issue, glad i found your post. While there are some good answers below what did you ultimately do to fix this? My only diff was that i set "X-UA-Compatible: IE=EmulateIE7" via a header instead of a meta tag, but the same issue exists. I am using some 3rd party controls and they only act correctly in IE8 when the user clicks the compat button on the browser or selects "Display all websites in compatibility view".. the header or the meta does exactly as you describe :(

Querying!

 
Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
