Intranet Compatibility Issue…

So we recently our whole intranet from one server to a few weeks ago and we came across an interesting issue where folks weren’t able to view a drop down menu. Now, it was working on chrome properly, but because most people use IE as their default, we had to figure out a way to make this happen and turns out, it was a compatibility issue. The way the intranet was set up seems like it was using old meta tags (IE7). So within compatibility mode, the browser is using IE 7 version when in actuality, the users have updated browsers which would be IE 11….so an interesting fix to this was using meta tags to emulate IE 11:
<meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=EmulateIE11″ />

had to add that to the title section:

Just a little geeky moment today where I was a little fascinated that it worked and just wanted to share!
