We are using an embedded SWT Browser in a Java application. The SWT Browser wraps an IE8 WebBrowser Control object. I am running into the well-known issue that by default, the WebBrowser Control uses IE7 mode instead of IE8 mode. (See http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2009/03/10/more-ie8-extensibility-improvements.aspx)
Per this and other articles, I am trying to set the FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION registry value for my application so that the Browser defaults to IE8 mode, but I am having mixed success. Setting it to IE8 Standards Mode using the value 8000 does not work, butsetting it to "Forced" IE8 Standards Mode using value 8888 does.
I am testing this by loading the page in the SWT Browser and then executing the javascript
browser.execute("alert(document.documentMode);");
The result is 7 if the key value does not exist or is 8000. The result is 8 if the key value is 8888. The URL I am testing against is http://stackoverflow.com, which includes the following

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
