How to disable Compatibility View in IE

Question

I am wondering how do you stop people who are using IE 8 from going to Compatibility mode?

Answer 1

should force your page to render in IE8 standards. The user may add the site to compatibility list but this tag will take precedence.

A quick way to check would be to load the page and type the following the address bar :

javascript:alert(navigator.userAgent) 

If you see IE7 in the string, it is loading in compatibility mode, otherwise not.
