I’m confused though. I thought that IE8 automatically renders pages like IE7 unless you tell it to behave better with a meta tag. At least that is what this article says:

Version targeting in IE 8, and an alternative path for Microsoft

So why is a code needed to tell IE8 to act like IE7, when supposedly it already does this?

I’m still researching and just not learning about IE8 so maybe I’m reading the above article wrong.
