While viewing the HTML IE 8 sets the default document mode as IE8 Standards as it should but it enters quirks mode on an asp page.
Even if I use <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> it doesn’t really help.
What should I do?
The only thing that actually works is
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8"/>, other browsers will ignore it but IE will be forced to be in IE-8 mode unless you’ve done something really stupid like putting something before the HTML.
