Good morning all...
I am testing our web application (which normally runs for IE9) for a customer who needs to introduce IE11 for its users, and I am going crazy to understand the behavior and the IE11 applied rendering ..
Shortly:
1. I inserted the DOCTYPE declaration in the head section as below:
<!DOCTYPE html>
2. I also inserted the following metatag for X-UA Compatibility.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
First question..I think that what at 2. could be omitted as the presence of 1. ...am I right?
3. I remarked a not-expected behavior of some elements (scrollbars in frames not visible, css classe not applied, etc.) in the page and I found out that a check or not on the "Display Intranet sites in Compatibility view" makes the difference...even if in both cases the document mode is detected to be edge (F12 Dev Tool), as I want to.
I was pretty sure that 3. should have no effect on rendering as I am using the edge mode (in this case IE11 is applied).
Is that right? And if not..why IE7 isn't then applied?
Another question...and a premise.. the webpages of the website are built automatically from some configuration files (xml style) and our CGI program. The result is that some frames are normally inserted into the pages with their own <head> sections...
Should what at 1. and 2. be included also in each <head> section of each frame?
Thanks in advance, best regards.
