internet explorer - IE9-10 document mode switching on refresh -
i observing following behavior:
- navigate page in ie10 (maybe earlier versions)
- the server serves error page in standards mode.
- it has html5 doctype , x-ua-compatible meta tag.
- hit f5 in browser reload.
- the server serves ie5 quirks mode page.
- whatever error happened has been resolved , intended page.
- <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en" >
- <meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="ie=5">
- (i don't control this)
- the browser not switch document modes might expected
- ie enters ie9 quirks mode instead of ie5 quirks mode.
i maintaining legacy application many pages beyond control. error page site under control , using html5 standards mode.
is there way ensure quirks mode page loads in intended mode in described scenario? alternative maintain set of quirks mode error pages , write hackish layer detect type of document have been served if error hadn't happened , serve error page in mode. sad.
