IE8 Kills the Internet. IE8 Fix for Joomla
| 13 January 2010
With the advent of IE8, many sites will be broken. Apart from telling the world to download Firefox, Chrome or Opera, which will not happen, then a fix is required for affected Joomla sites. Having scoured the universe, I found the following:
Put the following code in the head of the Joomla template ....
< head ><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" /><head />
That forces IE8 to emulate IE7 ... simple.
