[Building Sakai] Sakai 2.9.1 and IE8

[Stephen Marquard]

We investigated precisely this issue for our on-campus IE8 browsers for our 2.9.x rollout, having seen the same problem, and this change solved it.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288325(v=vs.85).aspx

We changed this from the previous (default?) value of sakai.X-UA-Compatible="IE=EmulateIE8".

Obviously caveat emptor (or the open source equivalent).

Regards
Stephen

Setting a header won't solve the issue Keli reported.  A default Microsoft group policy will force "intranet" apps to IE7 mode *despite* the HTTP header.

We have:

sakai.X-UA-Compatible=IE=8

in our sakai.properties to deal with this issue.

We discovered 3 weeks ago that all of our residential and library computer clusters were rendering all sites matching https://*.stanford.edu<http://stanford.edu> in compatibility  mode and thus would make our 2.9 upgrade (live this Monday!) look horrible. Our campus admins are going to roll out a fix tonight so ie8 looks like ie8. You can check this by going to Tools>Developer tools and see if the document mode is ie7.

Best,
Keli

Thank you very much. The problem was fixed when I turned of the
compatibility mode in IE8

Thanx again
