Unusual CSS inconsistencies between running on VS Web Server and IIS

My current dilemma involves a discrepancy in the appearance of my site when viewed locally through the visual studio web server (http://localhost:3452/) compared to when accessed on IIS7 (http://server/myproject/).

Initially, I suspected a CSS issue causing improper resolution, but upon inspection, everything seemed to be in order.

While using IE8 (similar issues occur in FF and IE7), I noticed that the "compatibility" button appears in the address bar when running locally but disappears when browsing the published site on the server.

I have included the following doctype: 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Ultimately, the desired behavior and display are observed when testing locally.

Any assistance, guidance, and suggestions are greatly welcomed!

update

Upon reviewing the provided links, it seems that I am running under "intranet" settings. Is there a method to enforce IE8 to operate in Standards Mode even on an intranet?

update 2

It turns out that the issue stemmed from my less-than-stellar CSS, which only became apparent during "intranet" testing. I had not yet made my CSS compatible with multiple browsers and was unaware that IE8 was reverting to IE7 mode when accessing "intranet" sites. I have since rectified my CSS, and everything is now functioning properly.

Answer №1

Do you find this useful? How to view IE8 compatibility on local files?

UPDATE - If you need help with displaying intranet sites in normal view instead of compatibility view, you can do so by going to Tools -> compatibility view settings and unchecking the 'Display intranet sites in compatibility view' checkbox.
