Turning off compatibility view on IE11
by Renan Jon Manuel - Monday, 29 July 2019, 6:06 AM
 

Hello, our client is requesting to bypass the IE11 compatibility view for the course uploaded on a Saba LMS, I have tried putting on the meta tag  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" /> or <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8"> but it doesn't work. Is it because the content is a pop-up window from the LMS itself? Is editing webconfig from the server side the only possible fix?

Thanks

The X-UA-Compatible meta tag is just a request, Internet Explorer may ignore it for all sorts of reasons. For example, if the compatibility view setting is being sent by the server or has been configured via GPO you won't be able to override that using an X-UA-Compatible meta tag.

I see, what if they manually turn on the compatibility view on Internet Explorer? should the meta tag work?

No it won't. AFAIK all the other settings override the meta tag. The meta tag can really only handle situations where you'd get something that would ordinarily trigger IE to go into 'quirks mode' - such as the presence of a <frameset> in a page that's declaring itself as HTML5.
