The last year, I've created some html5 (with some php in, but that's not relevant I think) websites and everything went well in Internet Explorer 10, Chrome, Firefox....
But last week, my boss orderd a new pc with Windows 8.1 on it, and ofc. IE 11, and all my websites look ugly. I checked with F12 tools and on the emulation tab, it says Documentmode = 7 (default). If I change it to Edge, everything shows as it should be....but after a refresh it just jumps back to 7.
I always used <!DOCTYPE html> on top of my pages and always worked in the past. But now, IE11 on win8.1 seems to ignore it. The reason why I think it's Windows 8(.1) only is because I have also IE11 installed, but on a Windows7 PC. I double checked and there are no websites added to the list for compabilityview on both PC's
After some searching I found <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" /> and it works!
But I can't find anywhere why it is like this and if there is another solution instead of opening every page of every website I've created and adding the meta-tag...
My first question here, hope I did well :-)
Where is the site being served from? Is it on your local network/intranet? I seem to remember that IE defaults to compatibility mode for sites in the "Intranet Zone". So this shouldn't happen to users accessing it from the outside world. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj676914%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
You can send X-UA-Compatible as a server header, instead of changing every page of every site. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj676913%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
