Can I use document...http://www.modern.ie/en-us/f12<br /><br />Can I use document modes instead of testing new sites in older versions of IE?<br /><br />Document Mode is only an approximation to the actual behavior of older versions of Internet Explorer, and should not be used to determine whether a site works properly in an older browser. Instead, developers should test with actual copies of the browsers they wish to support. Microsoft makes free virtual machine images available across platforms and can be downloaded at Virtual Machine Downloads: http://www.modern.ie/en-us/virtualization-tools/<br /><br />For best performance and feature availability, web developers should use Edge mode to render all their pages. Compatibility problems that require older document modes are often due to CSS hacks or use of older JavaScript libraries. See Code with Standards for a list of best practices that avoid compatibility issues: http://www.modern.ie/en-us/category/code-with-standardsCees Timmermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09503128896817151851noreply@blogger.com
