"Client-side style not rendering correctly in Internet Explorer 8 when accessed through server in

I have noticed some strange behavior with my .net application. Everything appears fine when running it from Visual Studio on IE8:

However, once I deploy the application to my server and access it via URL, it seems to lose its margin:

It's puzzling that the same application, in the same browser version, would show such a difference. What could be causing this?

Below is my CSS (the logo is contained within the "logo" class):

body {
    font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;
    background-color: #aaa;
    margin: 0px;
    line-height: 1.5rem;

Answer №1

It is highly probable that your website runs in Intranet mode when accessed locally via localhost, causing styling issues once deployed to a web server where Intranet mode is disabled.

To verify this theory, try adding your site to the list of trusted Intranet sites by going to Tools->Internet Options, selecting Security->Intranet, clicking on Sites, then Advanced Options, and including the URL of your site. This should display the deployed site correctly.

The issue arises because Intranet Mode automatically activates Compatibility Mode, rendering pages as if they were viewed in Internet Explorer 7. It's also possible that Compatibility Mode is only enabled for localhost and not for the live web version of your site.

If adjusting the settings resolves the problem, consider revisiting your style sheets to ensure compatibility with different viewing modes beyond Intranet or Compatibility Mode.

Edit:

If you are experiencing the opposite problem and wish to disable Compatibility Mode, refer to this solution: Force IE compatibility mode off using tags
