While many of us are really excited about the release of Internet Explorer 8, all web development companies will have some headaches concerning browser issues in IE 8 in the coming weeks. Luckily, Microsoft may actually be getting smarter in their old age and have now introduced the compatibility tag. There is an emulation meta tag that can be placed in the header of your site that will tell the IE Browser to render your site in IE 7 Compatibility mode. The Internet Explorer team at Microsoft posted a blog about the use of this tag.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
This tag needs to be added to the top of every page of your website. This could be quite cumbersome if your site is not setup with either layout files or master pages where there are only 1 or 2 files that you would need to update. An alternative to this if you're using IIS is to set this up server-side. There is an interesting blog post about this very thing on Scott Varty's blog over at ASP.NET Weblogs.
