Hi,
I use the Browser function in CSE Html Val. very often. I don't understand why it always use compatibility mode from IE? Can't I use the default IE mode?

I have installed IE9...

Thanks,
Poul Erik

Hi Poul,

That was something I was wanting to look into - provide an option to switch modes... unfortunately I haven't been able to investigate it yet.

However, have you tried putting a line like this in your HTML files to make IE use the latest compatibility mode available?

Code: Select all: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />

I did a quick test and it seemed to switch the compatibility mode from 7 to 8 (IE8 is installed on my system but would be 9 with IE9 on your system).

Here is more information I found:
META Tags and Locking in Future Compatibility

Here's a sample document I used for some testing:

Code: Select all: <!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-Compatible" content="IE=edge"> <title>Testing IE Document Mode</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta name="generator" content="CSE HTML Validator Professional (http://www.htmlvalidator.com/)"> </head> <body> <p>Testing IE's "Compatibility Mode/Document Mode"!</p> <script type="text/javascript"> alert('document.documentMode is '+document.documentMode); </script> </body> </html>

Will you make an option to switch Compatibility Mode in CSE HTML Validator?

Hope you will,

Something like that is what I want to do, but unfortunately other issues are higher priority now so I'm not sure when I will be able to look into it further (but I do plan to).

Thank you.
