In IE8, the Microsoft introduced a new mode called compatibility mode which would render the page like IE7.

You can see this button next to address bar in stackoverflow.com. But when you access google.com / live.com, you would not see the compatibility mode button. How do we make sure the pages don’t show this button the user?

  1. Short answer:

    Put this in your head tag to tell the browser that your page works in IE 8:

    <meta http-equiv='X-UA-Compatible' content='IE=8' />

    Also as per Jon Hadleys comment, to ensure the latest (not just IE8) rendering engine is used, you could use the following:

    <meta http-equiv='X-UA-Compatible' content='IE=edge'>
