My Webpage will not display in ie9 when its is running from a webserver.

Hi,
I created a webpage which runs fine in chrome and firefox and also when run directly using ie9. But when i try running the page from a apache webserver, it does not show properly in ie9. What could be the possible problem here.

check this page

The problem is not that your server but the size of your website in general, on a clean load i watched just over 3.5 mb/s of banners been loaded which is far too large for a carousel. I would highly recommend you look into compressing your images as they could easily be compressed to around 100-200 kb/s each.

thank you.
let me see how i can reduce the size.
But the same problem is there in my internal page also.
it works perfectly in chrome and firefox.

Press f12 and check document mode and browser mode
They should be set to IE9 but intranets default to quirks mode for some reason

ya, when the mode is changed it works fine. but do we make sure the visitor is in ie9 mode. Is there no other way or html paramater to set this?

[karlpcrowley]

Yup you need to set the x-ua-compatible to ie=edge

[karlpcrowley]

This goes in the head section of your document and tells IE to use the latest mode available

Everything loads fine in my IE9, it doesn’t switch to quirks mode either.

In IE7/IE8 mode it doesn’t, but that’s because you use HTML5 elements without the HTML5 shiv.

Detailed note: I wouldn’t recommend the use of the tag.

after i added html5 shiv. it works.
