How to make IE11 behave like IE8

votes

My application works fine with IE8 but not in IE11. We are not in condition to make change in code as application code is huge.So i am using following code in the common top level jsp:-

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8">

but still application view is not same as when we manually run the page in compatible mode.What i have notice is that when i manually run the page in compatible mode document mode is set to 5(Default) but when i am using meta tag document mode is still set to Edge.

Thanks

You can Forcefully Emulate IE11 to behave similar to IE8.Add the below lines of code to your web.config file

<httpProtocol>
  <customHeaders>
    <clear/>
    <add name="X-UA-Compatible" value="IE=EmulateIE8"/>
  </customHeaders>
</httpProtocol>
