At my employer, they finally pushed a full blown enterprise wide upgrade to IE10 with IE11 just around the corner (August).
Unfortunately in parallel, they could not get enough people to submit sites that needed compatibility mode, so to prevent massive help desk problems they decided to push USE COMPATIBILITY MODE FOR ALL SITES. This basically downgraded everyone to IE7 mode permanently. So much for progress...
- wil421 13y agoMy Employer does this also, all sites are our intranet switch IE into IE7 compatibility mode. Does matter if the need compatibility mode or not. We recently released a version of the web app I am building and I wish you couldve seen the horror on our faces when we saw the app in IE 7 mode.
- tmm 13y agoWell, unless they actually change it in group policy, this is the default action for IE when it connects to anything on what it considers to be Intranet. You can override this by setting X-UA-Compatible to IE=edge as a HTTP header on your server. The equivalent meta tag is ignored in this situation. Or you could ask IT to change group policy, but I have no idea where that setting might live.
- wil421 13y ago>X-UA-Compatible to IE=edge I believe we added this as a meta tag on the HTML pages, we didnt think of changing the HTTP header on the server. I doubt they will be willing to change the IT group policy because the app we built has a smaller userbase than other apps. That and they are still supporting web apps from the late 90s - early 00s designed for IE 5/6.
- spydum 13y agoYou cannot override "Use compatibility mode for all sites". It's a master switch. No X-UA-Compatible header, No meta tag, and no DOCTYPE will save you from this scourge.
