Developer forum

I copied this from the Technical Release Notes of the current update package. Did you follow these directions?

Microsoft is about to release the next version of Internet Explorer – version 8.
A lot of effort has been put into the browser to make it follow the HTML and
CSS standards specified by W3C.

The improved Standards Compliance in Internet Explorer means that
websites, which has been developed to display correctly in Internet Explorer
7, might experience layout or rendering errors in Internet Explorer 8 when
running in Standards Compliance mode.
 

Fortunately Internet Explorer 8 can render its content in 3 different modes:
1. Quirks mode
2. IE 7 Standards Compliance mode
3. IE 8 Standards Compliance mode.
 

This behavior can be controlled using a new switch, which can be set in the
HTML documents HEAD section:
 

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
 

This switch will tell Internet Explorer 8 to render the page in either Quirks
mode or IE 7 Standards Compliance mode based on the Doctype declaration.
Or simply put – behave like Internet Explorer 7.
 

To avoid a lot of breaking websites, Dynamicweb CMS will by default add the
switch to the HEAD section of existing Dynamicweb installations after this
update has been applied. All new installations of Dynamicweb will by default
run in IE 8 Standards Compliance mode – meaning it will leave out this
switch. The behavior can be controlled from Control Panel > General.

Hi Lars,

thanks for the reply.

I don't have the tag in the head and the browser is set to IE8 browser and IE8standard.

I am not sure what to do next.

the "broken link" icon also disappear on second launch (reload) off the site.

thanks :-)

Check out bullet # 3 on this page. Does that help? https://www.microsoft.com/danmark/windows/products/winfamily/ie/beta/support.mspx

Otherwise, try the Templates forum instead. You're probably more likely to get a useful answer from a frontender than a backender:)
