compatibility

I am aware of how to force IE into viewing a page in document compatibility , but what about browser compatibility view? I have a project that only works when IE9 is in browser compatibility view for various reasons, yet I can't find any resources on how to force IE9 to do so. Everyone only talks about forcing the document compatibility, e.g. using <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" /> But that doesn't work in my case, because it only sets the document view . Is there a way to set the browser view , too? PS: To make it abundantly clear, this is the setting I need to enforce:

I understood that setting a database to a COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL prior to your native one prevented features from being used. However this doesn't seem to be the case. Witness the following SQL script: CREATE DATABASE Foo GO USE Foo GO ALTER DATABASE Foo SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = 80 GO CREATE TABLE Bar ( Id UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL, TestNvcMax NVARCHAR (MAX) NOT NULL, -- Arrived in SQL 2005 TestDateTime2 DATETIME2 (7) NOT NULL -- Arrived in SQL 2008 ) GO But this table creates perfectly - any ideas? I would have thought some kind of an error message or warning would have been appropriate Here

Firefox doesn't display tooltips on disabled fields. The following displays tooltip in IE/Chrome/Safari except Firefox: <input type="text" disabled="disabled" title="tooltip text."/> Why doesn't Firefox display tooltip on disabled fields? Is there a work around this? Seems to be a (very old, and very abandoned) bug. See Mozilla Bugs #274626 #436770 I guess this could also be explained as intended behaviour. One horrible Workaround that comes to mind is to overlap the button with an invisible div with a title attribute using z-index ; another to somehow re-activate the button 'onmouseover' but

I'm trying to make my project python2.7 and 3 compatible and python 3 has the built in method int.from_bytes. Does the equivalent exist in python 2.7 or rather what would be the best way to make this code 2.7 and 3 compatible? >>> int.from_bytes(b"f483", byteorder="big") 1714698291 You can treat it as an encoding (Python 2 specific): >>> int('f483'.encode('hex'), 16) 1714698291 Or in Python 2 and Python 3: >>> int(codecs.encode(b'f483', 'hex'), 16) 1714698291 The advantage is the string is not limited to a specific size assumption. The disadvantage is it is unsigned. struct.unpack(">i","f483")

I'm currently writing a bash testing framework, which requires to be as portable as possible. So, at one point, I had to print a leading newline followed by some text which contains several expanded variables. This is the solution I've used. echo -e "\n$number_of_specs ${units}, $number_of_specs_failed failed" This seems okay but I'm not sure how portable that is compared to printing out the line using e.g. printf ? Any ideas or hints where I could find some references? printf is more portable. It should always be preferred over echo -e . If targeting bash/zsh/ksh specifically, echo $'...' is

I'm writing a little JavaScript tool for myself that I plan on making available to other people and it uses jQuery. My dream for this little utility is for people to be able to include a single .js file from a remote source and, when that file is loaded, have it check to see if jQuery has already been included and, if it has, make sure it's a recent enough version so as to be compatible with what my code needs to do. Some pseudocode which may explain my issue more clearly (this code would appear at the top of the single .js file I mentioned earlier): if jQuery is loaded { if version is less

I started research to find an alternative to the sun.misc.Signal class, because it could be unsupported in upcoming JDKs (we're currently working on 1.6). When I build the project I get: warning: sun.misc.SignalHandler is Sun proprietary API and may be removed in a future release I came across multiple solutions but they don't fit my project e.g. in this question . This is unacceptable in my situation because: Signals are used not only for killing application The application is huge - every conceptual change of communication between modules/JVMs could take years to implement Thus, the

I compile my C++ source code with Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview. I statically link to the runtime library. The resulting executable cannot be executed on Windows XP. When I try to execute it on Windows XP I get the error message "[Executable Path] is not a valid Win32 Application.". According to Microsoft Visual Studio 11 won't support Windows XP. How does it work that the resulting executable cannot be executed on Windows XP? Is there anything special within the executable? Anders They seem to drop support for older systems in every new release of VS (NT4,2000, XP ) Even if you don't use

I know that you can't (at least not easily) restore a SQL Server 2012 backup on SQL Server 2008. But how does it work for SQL Server 2014 to SQL Server 2012 ? On database level there is the property to adjust the compatibility mode to any other SQL Server version. How does this helps or work ? Will it only disallow the features from 2014? To be honest I already tried to restore a backup, but 2012 didn't recognize the datafile, so I couldn't click ok Button to start the restore procedure. Did I miss some important option ? marc_s You CANNOT do this - you cannot attach/detach or backup/restore a

I am having issues getting my Manifest file to be compatible with a lot of the newer phones when I upload a new APK file and I don't understand why. I am testing it on a brand new HTC Evo V , but for whatever reason, that device won't show up in the compatibility list. I'm compiling against API 17 with a minimum support of API 10, so that should encompass a large majority of the phones. What I've tried: Removed all permissions; no change Tried making WIFI not required; no change Removed installLocation to see if it made a difference; no change Even tried adding small screen support to see if
