How to Change Compatibility View in Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer has been a popular web browser for many years, but it has faced competition from other browsers like Chrome and Firefox. One of the features that Internet Explorer offers is Compatibility View, which allows users to view websites designed for older versions of Internet Explorer. However, there may be instances where you want to change the compatibility view settings to ensure that websites display correctly. In this article, we will guide you through the steps on how to change compatibility view in Internet Explorer.
Firstly, open Internet Explorer on your computer. You can do this by clicking on the Internet Explorer icon on your desktop or searching for it in the Start menu.
Next, navigate to the website that you want to view in Compatibility View. Once you are on the website, click on the gear icon located in the upper-right corner of the browser window. This will open the Tools menu.
In the Tools menu, you will see a list of options. Look for the option labeled “Compatibility View” and click on it. This will open a dialog box with a list of websites that are currently set to use Compatibility View.
Within the dialog box, you can make changes to the compatibility view settings. To add a website to Compatibility View, simply click on the “Add” button and enter the URL of the website you want to add. To remove a website from Compatibility View, select the website from the list and click on the “Remove” button.
Additionally, you can enable or disable Compatibility View for all websites. To do this, check or uncheck the box labeled “Display all websites in Compatibility View.” If you enable this option, all websites will be displayed in Compatibility View. If you disable it, websites will be displayed using their default settings.
After making the desired changes, click on the “Close” button to save the settings. The website you are currently viewing will now be displayed according to the new compatibility view settings.
It is worth noting that changing compatibility view settings may affect the rendering of certain websites. If you encounter any issues, you can always revert back to the previous settings by repeating the above steps.
By following these simple steps, you can easily change compatibility view in Internet Explorer and ensure that websites display correctly. Whether you are dealing with older websites or troubleshooting rendering issues, adjusting the compatibility view settings can help you achieve the desired results.
