How can I set Internet Explorer document mode to be used for Outlook folder web sites?

Hi,

I'm using an application that creates an overview of all our outlook calendars into a HTML web site which is displayed via a MS Exchange public folder - using the folder web site feature.

With a recent update of this application I'm getting scripting errors that are caused by the document mode which is active in Outlook (IE7 mode).

Even when using the following meta tag:

   <meta http-equiv='X-UA-Compatible' content='IE=edge'>

to force IE into the most current rendering mode it still uses IE 7 mode.

Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks

Do you mean MapiFolder WebView?

MapiFolder WebView is the folder property but there is no settings or relevancy properties to control it to open any of IE mode in Outlook client. Thus, I think we cannot use Meta tag to force the page to open with a specific IE mode.

Not sure which exact application you are using here, but it happens right after a recent update, you probably need to check with the support of the application for support.

Kapaal.

Basically this is what is described here:

I managed to fix the problem by changing the meta tag from "edge" to "IE11":

<meta http-equiv='X-UA-Compatible' content='IE=IE11'>

It seems as if the IE component that is used inside Outlook behaves differently than the standalone browser or Microsoft decided to limit its capabilities.
