How to Make Your Website Compatible to Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1?



Since we all know Microsoft has released the first public Beta version of IE8 recently but its not showing most of the site properly and have lots of problems with their layout.

Here is a quick way to make your website compatible to IE8 Beta:

Just copy following line and paste it to next of <Head> tag in your Index file:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />

Save the file and your site should not have any problem in IE8 Beta.

PS: If the code doesnt work, then manually remove the double -quotes in the above line and re-type them again. The default font of this site doesnt show double-quotes properly.

  • Looks like IE8 isn't working properly with your site. I've clicked your banners and they don't open a website. Could mean a lot of lost revenue.
