In my experience, the IE* compatibility mode don't capture 100% of the quirks compared to working in the browser directly.
I use a win8 vm for IE10, win7 for IE9 and run copies of XP mode within win7 for IE 6-8
- jaredmcateer 14y agoNot only don't they capture all the quirks, but they introduce new ones. I had an issue a year back, I can't remember the exact details unfortunately, where IE8 in compatibility mode for IE7 was causing some weird behaviour that didn't happen in either IE7 or 8.
- Too 14y agoTo make things even more confusing there is both a "browser mode" and a "documents mode", both containing all the versions of IE7,8,9 plus documents mode containing IE9-compatibility-mode whatever that is. Setting any combination of the two options is valid.
