use of Gadget to display internal content

[pvarenholt]

Hi.  We have created a gadget to display our wallboards, however, the styles are not rendering correctly in IE compatibility mode.  We attempted to add an X-UA-Compatible meta tag on the gadget container to force the page to display in IE9 document mode, but the tag is getting overridden and displaying in IE8.  Is there a way to add this tag at the gadget level to force the page to render in IE9 document mode?  It seems that whatever is set on the Finesse container is overriding whatever we try to set for the gadget.  Is there another solution we are missing/have overlooked?  We would prefer to set document mode programmatically if possible.  Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions you can provide.

Thanks,

Paul.

Hi Paul,

The Finesse container has logic where if IE is in compatibility mode, it automatically puts the X-UA-Compatible to be: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" /> and if it is not, it will be: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />

I am not aware of a way to override the X-UA-Compatible tag and not aware of any other solution. Is there a reason why you need your IE to be in compatibility mode in the first place?

Thanx,

Denise

Yes we require this for other applications we use.

Thanks for the response.

Unfortunately, I am not aware of any way workarounds. Sorry.

Thanx,
