Anyone have a workaround for the aspnet menu control not rendering properly in ie8?

Question

I am programming asp.net in C# using vs2008.

My app runs fine in ie7, but the drop down menu does not render in ie8. A white rectangle shows up instead of the menu items. I checked viewsource and the html for the menu looks good.

Anyone have a fix?

Answer 1

Try using the <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7"> meta-tag as detailed here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/readiness/developers-new.aspx#dom
