Internet Explorer LogoCOMPATIBILITY ISSUES WITH INTERNET EXPLORER 8

Windows Internet Explorer 8 improves browser interoperability and advances the Web by delivering a better implementation of web standards. Although this is a move in the right direction, you might encounter compatibility issues with some sites that still rely on the behavior of earlier versions of Internet Explorer. Common symptoms of site compatibility problems are out-of-place menus, images, or text.

Compatibility View resolves most site compatibility issues and makes websites that are designed for older browsers look better.

To enable Compatibility View for specific websites that are not displayed correctly or that are not working, follow these steps:

  1. In Internet Explorer, open the GIS website that is not displayed correctly or that does not work correctly.
  2. Click the Compatibility View icon. This icon is located to the right side of the address bar.
