How to make it render using IE9?

Post by yenerich »

The trick of using FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION with a value of 8000 (1f40) is not enough to be able to remder as IE9, because the preview i get with this software is different that the one running an instance of IE9.
The regedit trick i mention works fine for IE8, but its not working fine with IE9.

Any suggestion?

Hi,

The built-in preview of WeBuilder uses the IE preview rendering features provided by your IE installation.
If you have only IE9 installed on your computer, the preview should be the same.

Could be the same, but do not render the same.
I discover that some time ago, with IE8 and works with any software that uses IE.
The trick does its job with the registry as i showed before with FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION, but for IE9 it does not.
Its not a failure of blumentals, problem is the same with any other software that uses IE (email clients, etc).

If you develop, lats say, rounded corners in HTMLPad or any Blumentals editor, and check it in preview, it does not show.
If you preview directly in IE9 it shows just fine.

Im trying to find if there is any FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION value for IE9 or some other way to make it works exact the same as if you use the browser.

Best Regards

This is how the html was displayed by HTMLPAD:

This is how its displayed on IE:

Now, my problem is that HTMLPAD changes again the value back to 8000 evertime i run it?

Adding the value as 9999 works fine, now it renders just fine, same as IE9.

But i guess i have to run the editor and then go to chen it.

Please confirm or i am doing something wrong?
