How to force ie9 into compatibility mode ie8
Hi Experts,
I got the following DOCTYPE script which forces ie9 into compatibility mode ie8 when is executed as html file:
__________________________
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatibl
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>About blah</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="@CONTEXT_URL@css/mai
</head>
--------------------------
It does work and open a blank page, but my question is How do I include a webpage within the script, in other words How do I execute a html page to open in ie8 compatibility mode, such as opening google.com or yahoo.com by double clicking a shortcut and goes directly to ie 8 compatibility mode without hitting F12

COBOLdinosaur/jcimarron,
The compatibility mode does not work, I had to keep changing it to view that web page, I really want it force to ie8 on a different tab or another windows and at least leave it there on ie8 and have ie9 running on another section.

Not going to happen in this universe.

http://www.fedidcard.gov/implactivation.aspx
So what I am looking for is to open that website in ie8 compatibility mode and perform the work that I need to accomplished.
Thanks,

After so much research on the web, came to the conclusion that COBOLdinosaur/jcimarron were correct.
The B grade would suggest you do not think we are correct. As providing the correct answer was the best possible effort we could make; a B grade can only mean that we are somehow being blamed for a perceived flaw in IE which we are not responsible for.
Is there some other explanation of why this has been under-graded.
