Menu
Open up Internet Explorer (IE 11) Press the Alt key on your keyboard, this will make a menu bar appear. Click on the Tools menu tab. Select the Compatibility View settings option.
If you want the "old" rendering, and no button to show up on the toolbar so that users can switch modes you can use this:
<head>
<!-- Mimic Internet Explorer 7 -->
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" >
<title>My Web Page</title>
</head>
other options (old and new) include:IE=5, IE=7, IE=8, or IE=edge
(edge equals highest mode available)
You probably need to set your DOCTYPE correctly. Check out MSDN's articles on DOCTYPE and Defining Document Compatibility for more info.
Please also note that also IE8 browser settings can enforce a certain mode. I have a customer who has IE8 compatibility mode enforced by policy in intranet mode.
