If user is using IE7 himself, then the meta will not work.<br />
Meaning, it will work only if browser is IE8 or IE 9.

Itinfserv likely means that the user has IE8 but has set the compatibility mode to IE7 for some reason. I thought the tag would force that setting to be overridden too.<br />

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
we launched our new Intranet website, hence can't share it here and checked on different browsers and some has the settings of IE7 (click on F12 and change compatible to IE7).<br />
I thought &lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;X-UA-Compatibl<wbr />e&quot; content=&quot;IE=8&quot; /&gt; will solve it, but it doesn't.<br />
<br />
currently the heading of the website is <br />
&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN&quot; &quot;<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" rel="ugc">http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd</a>&quot;&gt;<br />

&lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;X-UA-Compatible&quot; content=&quot;IE=8&quot; /&gt;

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.

Web Languages and Standards

Web development software is used to create websites for both the Internet and intranets. Software can be either locally installed or operated through a cloud interface, and ranges in complexity from simple text editors to full-fledged integrated development environments (IDEs) that include graphics, video, audio, scripting and database support.

Web Development Software

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.

&lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;X-UA-Compatible&quot; content=&quot;IE=8&quot; /&gt;

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />
