Stop the compatibility button being show on your website in IE8

12 July 2009

If your website shows the compatibility button when you browse it in IE8 (Internet Explorer 8) then this is how to remove the button.

Simply add the below line to the <head></head> section of your website:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />

An example of this is place would be:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />
</head>

This must be the first meta tag in your code, otherwise it doesn’t work.
