Found this little snippet yesterday. I’m not saying that this is best practice in any way, but if you’re looking for a quick fix, here it is:
<meta content='IE=EmulateIE7' http-equiv='X-UA-Compatible'/>I think this has the effect of enabling “Compatibility Mode” that the user would normally have to turn on.
As a side note, the specific reason I used this was to make a Google Friend Connect widget render properly — there are plenty of posts on the web about those widgets not working in IE8.
