I am installing a slider on my website and I run into compatibility issues with IE. I am told that this line of code in the head is causing the problem: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />

Is it not a good idea to remove this line?

Thanks,

Scott

That line was originally added (at least in the Able world) when a specific .Net update broke ImageButton controls. So the quick solution was to force IE to fall back to IE9 compatibility mode in the browser.

I wouldn't think that it is still necessary assuming your hosting provider has updated .Net at least once in the last 18 months. But it's purely up to the hosting environment to decide if that line is still necessary.

Thanks for the reply.

How do I get rid of it? I can add code to the head, but how do I remove that?

It'll be in the base.master file in the /layouts/ folder.

Also check /layouts/fixed/ base.master.

Aha!

Thanks. Do you think I should just remove it all together? Or should I replace it with something like <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />

Not sure. That's probably worth a google search to see what others are doing.
