IE 8 Compatibility Tag feature

If any site doesn't look good in IE8 and was working fine with IE7, then adding following code can make the IE8 to use the IE7 compatibility mode.

 

1. <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />

2. <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

The code should be added above charset declaration, the sequence is most important.

I have just tested it on one of my websites and it's working perfectly fine.

 

Please refer to following links for more information on it.
