Windows 7 IE9 and IE8

You cannot have IE8 and IE 9 on the same system.

However, you can setup IE9 to work like IE8. Simply press F12, or "Developer Tools" from the tools menu, and change the Browser mode to Internet Explorer 8.

Thanks,

SebastianAbbinanti, interesting thanks.  I looked around for proof that it was/is in IE8 mode when the F12 Developers Tool is selected, but I do not see any indication.
So I ask, where can I see or show that it is operating as IE8?

Javascript can tell you the reported version. The navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") property will report the version of IE.

Also you may try this site: http://www.quirksmode.org/js/detect.html  . It will just tell you what you're using.

Thanks,

At this web site; http://www.quirksmode.org/js/detect.html  all I get it this:

Let's detect your browser:

You're using Explorer 9 on Windows!

I cannot get it to change to Explorer 8

And where is; navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE")   I looked at the source code and could not find it.  I used Fiddler2 and did not find it.  Where is it?

Try closing IE and doing it again. It should look like this.
IE-Browser-Mode.tiff

Some times it does not change the first time through.

Thanks,
S.

SebastianAbbinanti, please read my comment above.  Another question I have is this;
When F12 Developer Tools is checked, that means it is in the IE8 mode....correct?

The other question is; The F12 Developer Tools is "plural" but I do not see the > arrow for any other tool's menu, so there is only the checking and unchecking of that one tool?
Why is it "tools"?  Am I missing some "tools"?

by: SebastianAbbinanti, thanks.  With the site you gave me and noticing the drop down menu, now I can change it to IE8 or IE9;

Points coming, thanks

thanks
