Internet Explorer 8 Compatibility View
In IE 8 there is a new feature called Compatibility View. If a website does not work well with IE 8, Compatibility View lets you view it in IE 7 while still allowing you to use the newer features in IE 8. You can turn Compatibility View on by going to the website you wish to view and clicking the button located next to the Refresh button or going to Tools > Compatibility View Settings and typing in the address of the website.
In the Compatibility View Settings, there is also an option for displaying all websites in Compatibility View.
Once this feature is turned on for a site, it will remain on until you turn it off (by re-clicking the Compatibility View button or removing the site from the Settings) or the site is updated for IE 8. The Compatibility View option is not available for sites already updated for IE 8.
