Compatibility mode ie8
I have built my website in iWeb08. I found iWeb08 easy and flexible to work with.
It is therefore very annoyning to discover that IE8 is not compatible with iWeb08.
I know that visitors using IE8 can enable the compatibility mode in IE8 to display my website correctly.
Very few visitors will probably do that
So
Any hints on how to automatically enable compatibility mode when visiting my site with a IE8 browser is more than welcome
Solved the problem by installing iWEB09

CSS Float Drop in IE8 but not Compatibility Mode
I'm testing code for my home page across different browsers, and encountered the common IE float drop problem. This does not occur in Firefox, Chrome, Opera, or IE8 in Compatibility Mode; but does occur in IE8 standard mode. It's a bit confusing, since I usually encounter this problem in Compatibility Mode.
I have tried using clear:none; as I thought the content was clearing the float:left of a large flash image on the left side of the window, but it didn't solve the problem. I have 3 image buttons whose combined heights equate that of the flash image (all 622px), and these are all in a column div floating to the right. All of these are flush margin:0 and padding:0, border:none. The flash image has it's own class stating margin:0, padding:0, border:none as well. These divs are fixed pixel widths and heights. I tried placing them in a larger container div with fixed width and height, which didn't solve the problem. Again, this only occurs in IE8 Compatibility Mode.
This is the code below:
div id="container">
embed src="index.swf" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="622" width="509" align="left" class="flashhome"> /embed>
div id="homecontright">
a href="services.html?panel=5">
img src="button1.gif" align="top" border="0" alt="b1" class="imageright"/> /a>
a href="smt.html">
img src="button2.gif" align="top" border="0" alt="b2" class="imageright"/> /a>
a href="jobs.html">
img src="button3" align="top" border="0" alt="b3" class="imageright"/> /a>
/div>
div class="floatfix"> /div>
div id="foot" align="center">
contact info footer
/div>
/div>
Here is the style information from my separate stylesheet
#homecontright { margin:0; padding:0; border:none; width:493px; height:622px; overflow:visible; float:right; display:block; }
.imageright {margin-left: auto; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; display: block; float: right }
.flashhome { width:509px; height:622px; margin:0; padding:0; float:left; border:none; }
div#container { margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; margin-bottom:0; width:1002px; background-color:#A8CBE9; }
div#foot { background-color:#003366; border-color:#a8cbe9; border-width:thin; border-style:solid; font-size:10px; width:996px; padding:0.2em; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; text-align:center; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight:bold; color:#FFFFFF; height:10px; }
.floatfix { clear:both; }
I've tried removing all the floats, even, especially the ones in the nested divs/class elements; but this didn't do a thing. This leads me to wonder if this really is a float drop problem or am I missing something?
EDIT: I fail at posting code so I've removed the front bracket from all tags. Also, added a diagram to show what it's supposed to look like and what is happening in IE 8 Compatibility. The margins do not exist, they are there so you can see individual elementsI tried adjusting the images on the right -10px and had the same result. Those images were actually created with margins within the image, so everything should be flush.
I noticed, however, that even in browsers where everything aligns correctly, there seems to be a 2-3px jog between the flash image and the buttons on the right. That strange link to the bottom right of the flash image is still appearing as well, somehow having to do with the top banner image when right clicked. I tried changing the URL of that banner and the link changed as well, confirming my suspicion that they're linked. I attempted to contain that image in a fixed width div with no results. This link does not appear in other browsers, nor does it appear on any other pages that I used that code on.
Code for my banner:
<...a href="index.html"><img src="index/accuweb_c3homebannerR1a.jpg" alt="banner" border="0" class="banner"/><.../a> -
Greetings,
I built this page a few weeks back: http://www.brightwork.com/overview and recently I've been told there's a bug where all the text on the first page wont display. It merely appears as Undefined. From other errors I've weeded out I know that Undefined means that the text files those batches of text are loading from are not being loaded properly, however my preloader shouldn't allow it to start without those files being loaded.
I have been unable to repeat the bug, but apperantly it has something to do with having Compatibility Mode disabled. Can anyone who goes to that link tell me if it works for them, and if you have any ideas why it might be breaking those other times please tell me!
CheersHi,
do you have a solution for the problem? We have actually a similar problem with locked IE8 when using a zoom factor > 100% (it's a customer WD4A).
Regards,
Steffen Brauner

I want to be able to switch to FF3.6 mode like in IE9 we can switch to IE8 mode.
Is this possible in FF?Sorry, no it isn't possible. Firefox 4.0 replaced Firefox 3.6 when you installed 4.0, plus Firefox doesn't need a "compatibility mode" like IE has - Firefox has always been more compatible with W3C standards than earlier versions of IE were and doesn't need that "mode" like IE does to display web pages made for older versions of IE without breaking those web pages.

How to set Compatibility Mode for a single site in ie10
This question was originally posted on the Answers forum -
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie10-windows_7/how-to-set-compatibility-mode-for-a-single-site-in/187152e3-142a-4d96-8d1b-af82ef571eec
I am having problem with getting ie10 to set ie9 compatibility for a single site (sharepoint.contoso.com).
When I add this website in Compatibility View Settings (Alt > Tools > Compatibility View Settings > 'Add this Website') it adds the domain 'contoso.com' and not the individual website (sharepoint.contoso.com).
This cause other sites (www.contoso.com) to be configured to use compatibility mode. Because this is a separate site (different web server) to the site sharepoint.contoso.com (sharepoint 2010 server) we need different compatibility settings.
Using a different example to explain the issue -
Microsoft has three websites that are different websites created by different developers written in different programming languages and they only work with certain browsers.
microsoft.com (Website1 created by Developer1) - compatible with ie8/ie9/ie10
msdn.microsoft.com (Website2 created by Developer2) - compatible with ie8/ie9
technet.microsoft.com (Website3 website created by Developer3) - compatible only with ie10
The only thing the three website share is the URL contains 'microsoft.com'.
Marking 'msdn.microsoft.com' to run in compatibility mode affects the other 2 websites - mainly technet.microsoft.com which will not work now since it only runs in pure ie10 mode.
Should you be able to add an individual site to the compatibility list instead of all sites that have .microsoft.com in the URL? Am I missing a simple setting in the ie10?
As a workaround I am using the F12 Developer Tools to set the Browser Mode which temporary sets the compatibility mode. However this is not a nice solution to the end users at our organisation.problem is not solved for non corporate environments...
You could start your own thread. Then if you got that answer and it was marked Answered you would have the ability to unmark it. The OP of this one seems satisfied. Also note that this is TechNet. Consumers can get help on Answers

Oh! I wrote it wrong: I should have said: This is not solved for NON-AD environments. No demands what so ever to use Window 7/8 professional in a small corporation or on a big corporation with Island of smaller departments for example offshore.
The problem is that the thread is not "Answered" by the OP, its is marked answered by a moderator (and same moderator that did the answer) so no way of telling if the OP is satisfied.
But you are right in the fact that I am almost kidnapping the thread. But a complete answer would benefit all in this case I would presume.

Internet Explorer and compatibility mode error
Whilst using DMXZone's HTML5 video player, it throws up a problem on some PC's stating there is an error and states to run in compatibility mode. Is there a line of code I can insert into the page that forces compatibilty mode to work? The client insists that they don't have to explain to every customer what to do.
Thanks'If the problem is with IE8 or below, this is because they do not support html5, the html5 shiv/js file if you are using one, only allows css styles to be applied and gives no other functionality.

OK - thanks for looking into it for me. -
Silverlight 5 WebBrowser Control - Is the SL5 WebBrowser control is set to work in IE7 mode only? I have a 3rd party web site I'm hosting and now they will not work with IE 7 Compatibility mode. Looks like this control can't detect I'm setup for IE 9. I'm
running IE 11 with registry hack for IE 9. I think the SL5 webbrowser control is set to work only in IE 7. can some one verify this or tell me how to set the WebBrowser control up to run either IE8, 9, 10 or 11? I have same issue with machines running IE 8
and above. This Silverlight 5 application is running out of browser with the elevated privileges (hack) and at test certificates install in proper stores. This application has been running for 2.5 years. Vender switch on some changes a couple days ago that
broke this application. Help!!Hi,
It seems there is nothing to do with IE mode.
Please make sure your link still can be accessed.
The WebBrowser displays HTML content in applications running in a Silverlight 4 or later out-of-browser applications or in Silverlight 5 in-browser trusted applications only.

IE 8: Change IIS Settings to enforce Compatibility Mode
Follow this link to a Microsoft article titled Implementing the META Switch on IIS. Here is the intro to the article:
"Windows Internet Explorer 8 introduces document compatibility modes that allow Web developers to tell the browser to render their pages in the same way as older versions would. The compatibility mode can be specified on a per-page or per-site basis.
This document describes how to implement a very common document compatibility mode, EmulateIE7, supported by Windows Internet Explorer 8, on a per-site basis, using custom headers in Internet Information Services (IIS)."Hi Tylor,
in the 9.1 version we do not "officially" support IE8, however MOST things work well in Compatibility Mode. In 9.2 we will officially support IE8, but only in Compatibility Mode. This info was sent to me by our QA folks who thought it would be helpful to customers who are on IE8.
Tim,
I don't know about WebSphere. As I mention above, this is something Microsoft has published to allow organizations to enforce compatibility mode. -
Every time I start iTunes I get the message: "iTunes exec has been set to run in compatability mode for an older version of Windows. Turn off compatability mode for iTunes before you open it." How do I turn off the compatability mode? Particularly when I have to do it before I turn on iTunes.
Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

We are planning a upgrade of a SP2010 farm to 2013. There has been a bit of customization so we wish to run the old sites on the new SP2013 platform in SP2010 compatibility mode.
So my question is will Office Web Apps Server 2013 work with the old sites hosted in compatibility mode?
I found a similar query from March 2014 found here
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/93101/office-web-apps-2010-running-on-sharepoint-2013-for-compatibility-mode-sites/116281#116281
Has there been an update released to resolve this
Cheers DHi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you need to know whether Office Web Apps 2013 is working with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode.
For my test, Office Web Apps 2013 with SharePoint 2013 sites which is in SharePoint 2010 compatibility mode is working fine.
Thanks,
Eric

recieved error message that states" itunes exe has been set to run in compatibility mode for an older versions of windows for best results turn off compatibility mode for itunes before you open it. How do i access compatibility mode and turn it off ? Believe i have Windows 7.
Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):
iTunes for Windows: How to turn off Compatibility Mode -
Turning off the compatibility mode by deselecting the check box under each thing that it wants did nothing for my access to the itunes store, still a white page with "itunes store" in the middle of it. This is getting rediculous! Someone with computer smarts please help, I am at the end of my rope!
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Purchased a new Ipad for my wife and integrated it with my windows 7 system and Itunes and made it through. Was able to sync and bring pictures, contacts and bookmarks over. Not to say it was easy because I never used any Apple product except my Ipad and Itunes. Really enjoyed using the Ipad and was thinking of getting a new Iphone this week being my contract is up.
Then the trouble began I bought a new windows 8 system after having trouble with my old hard drive. I have finances and Tax programs I use that I thought would be easier to continue using windows rather than trying integrating past years Quicken & Turbo Tax information into a new Apple system.
Well now I'm sorry I bought the new windows 8 system. First all my optical drives disappeared when installing itunes. After spending 1-1/2 on the phone with a service rep and finally was able to see my optical drive I thought everything was OK. Then more trouble. When I open Itunes I receive an error message that says my Itunes no longer recognizes my optical drive try reinstalling. I reinstalled 10 times and tried compatibility mode and the end result is my Itunes no longer could burn Cd's. I had this problem if I'm not mistaken in the past with ME system back many years ago. And did not want to go through this again but here I am disgusted once again.I finally got my nano working (no thanks to Apple, hmpf!) and it's running fine with 1.0.2 now. For those with similiar problems try this:
+For Mac, you need to:+
+1. Downgrade to firmware 1.0.1 by deleting the files iPod_26.1.0.2.ipsw and iPod_26.1.0.2.ipsw.signature (are in the folder iPod software updates somewhere on the harddisk)+
+2. under Settings in iTunes you have to disable automatic download of updates, then restart iTunes.+
+3. Enter Disc Mode by holding menu & select for about ten seconds, then pressing play/pause & select for another ten seconds.+
+4. reconnect your nano to Reset, and when iTunes prompts to update, just don't allow it to look for updates and then reset with fw 1.0.1.+
I'm supriced Apple support didn't tell me about this? This worked great and is a very fast fix. I can't believe Apple got me to reinstall the whole OS, which didn't even solve it btw. USB 1, blah! Yeah right..

This morning, Firefox crashed. After this, when I click the Firefox icon, the hourglass appears and then nothing happens. Firefox does briefly appear in the task manager when I do this.
I tried rebooting. I tried reinstalling multiple times. (Firefox will run when I select "Launch Firefox" from the installer. Then the problem occurs again.) I tried safe mode. I have found that Firefox will work if I select Windows XP compatibility mode from the icon properties menu or if I run the program as an administrator. When I do this, Windows asks me if I want a program to be able to make changes to my computer.
I have noticed that a Windows Error Report is being generated each time Firefox will not open.A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I was running Firefox fine just yesterday. I screwed up the registry a litle while removing an installed program completely, so I restored the system and everything appeared to work fine. I then decided to play an old video game, Return to Krondor, which was made back in 1998, so I ran the program with no other programs running in compatibility for windows 98. After finishing the game, I closed it and put the computer in hibernation mode. I come back today and firefox will not run at all. It is not running in the background and there are no programs running. There are no services running which could interfere with it. I think somehow Firefox may think I'm in compatibility mode still, but I have no idea.
I'm running windows Vista 32 - bit with an AMD 2.4ghz processor, 4gb ram on an Emachine computer. I have already tried system restore, restart, processes etc. Nothing works. I can still run Internet explorer and all other programs.The person that I was assisting, has Windows 7 which has 64 bit system. Her browser was IE 10.
Was IE11 ever offered (or installed) via Windows Update?
Is her computer currently fully-patched at Windows Update?
Is Adobe Shockwave Player v12.1 (or higher) installed on her computer?
Is Adobe Flash Player v15.0.0.189 (or higher) installed on her computer?
