Greetings all,
I have a new group of users (clients) using IE 11 and complaining roundly about the webforms not working.
I read that you can generate the page so as to force IE to use compatibility mode.
I am using this website for reference: http://webdesign.about.com/od/internetexplorer/qt/force-compatibility-view-in-ie.htm
It seems to suggest that I can either remove the DocType altogether AND/OR include the following line directly under the <Header>:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8">
On my server, default.aspx is the default document. So I tried to edit this document in my deployed website folder.
Unfortunately, this does not appear to work because of a bug that Microsoft does not want to fix described here:
There is work-around described in the link above, but I do not understand how to implement it.
Any pointers would be really be appreciated!!
Thanks!!
Paul
This is the beginning of the default.aspx file:
<%@ Page ValidateRequest="false" EnableEventValidation="false" language="c#" EnableViewState="false" SmartNavigation="false" Codebehind="default.aspx.cs" AutoEventWireup="false" Inherits="PBWebApp._Default" %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" >
<html>
<head runat="server">
