Website displays incorrectly in Internet Explorer 8 or 9
Websites that were designed for earlier versions of Internet Explorer might not display correctly in the cur-
rent version. However, you can often improve how a website will look in Internet Explorer by using the
new ‘Compatibility View’ feature. When you turn on Compatibility View, the webpage displayed (and any
other webpages within the website's domain) will display as if you were using an earlier version of Internet
Explorer.
1. In IE8, click the
Stop
button on the right side of the Address bar.
2. If the page has stopped loading, click the
Refresh
button to try again.
3. Click the
Tools
button, and then click
Compatibility View
.
If Internet Explorer recognizes a webpage that is not compatible, the
Compatibility View
button displays
on the Address bar. To turn Compatibility View on, click the
Compatibility View
button. From now on,
whenever you visit this website, it will be displayed in Compatibility View. However, if the website receives
updates to display correctly in the current version of Internet Explorer, Compatibility View will automati-
cally turn off. Note that not all website display problems are caused by browser incompatibility. Interrupted
Internet connections, heavy traffic, or website bugs can also affect how a webpage is displayed. To go
back to browsing with Internet Explorer 8 on that site, click the
Compatibility View
button again.
4. Check your ION firmware version and upgrade to the latest if outdated. See the “
Upgrade
” section on
page
266
.
5. Check the Microsoft Support Online website

for more
information.

were using an earlier version of Internet Explorer. See the Microsoft Support website Article ID: 956197 at
