To change the browsing mode and open web pages in IE7 mode, you need to make some changes. Just open IE8 and open Tools menu > Developer tools (F12). Under developer tools open the “Browser Mode” and change it to Internet Explorer 7.
Now your sites will open just like they get to open and view in IE7. Also, you can easily revert back to Internet Explorer 8 mode anytime if you like. Enjoy !
Thanks for the help 🙂
