title: Force "Internet Explorer 8" browser mode in intranet
body: <p>There are "Internet Explorer 8", "Internet Explorer 8 Compatibility Mode", and IE7 mode in IE8.</p>
  
  <p>However, the default setting in IE make all intranet website use "IE8 Compatibility Mode" even I have setted doctype, the meta tag, http header as suggested to force it into IE8 mode.</p>
  
  <p>I have</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd" rel="noreferrer">http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd</a>"></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>&lt;meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" ></p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But it still goes into "IE8 Compatibility Mode", without any changes in IE setting.</p>
  
  <p>How to force it into pure "IE8" mode, without change any browser's setting?</p>
  
  <p>PS. I am not talking "document mode" here.</p>
