IIS7 and IE8 - Are the pages different on the same versions of IE8?

I have an ASP.NET web application (framework 2.0) running under IIS7. When I run the application on the server using IE8, the localhost application works as intended. When I run the application in Visual Studio 2008 (framework 2.0), it works as intended. But when I try to run the application from another computer, it does not display correctly. The same versions of IE8.

What can cause ASP.NET to display correctly on the server, but not work correctly on another computer if the versions of Internet Explorer are the same?

Can anyone help?

You can get IE to work in a specific compatibility mode with one of the following meta tags in your head:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=4"> <!-- IE5 mode --> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7.5" > <!-- IE7 mode --> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=100" > <!-- IE8 mode --> <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=a" > <!-- IE5 mode -->

Here is a link to more information on the compatibility meta tag:

Another thing you could try is to keep the output source on each system and then compare to make sure they are the same. If they are identical, then it comes down to a gap on the client, which is the compatibility setting.
