    Understanding Compatibility Modes in Internet Explorer 8
    With the release of IE 8, we felt that providing a little more detail around the different Compatibility Modes might be useful, so here goes!

On the other hand, the Web is a large expanse; requiring every legacy page to support the "latest and greatest" browser version immediately at product launch just isn't feasible. Internet Explorer 8 addresses this challenge by introducing compatibility modes which gives a way to introduce new features and stricter compliance to standards while enabling it to be backward compliant. In this post I would like to discuss how compatibility mode can be specified and how IE determines which mode to use in different scenarios.
